If was in a position to drop $200+ for a shift knob, I'd do TK.

And you can't go wrong buying from De.

i thought my car was going to turn with my wrench when i finally decided to use the oil filter wrench on the stock knob. :mad: thats how tight it was.

I used that drum stick only as a reference. It was the only thing I saw at the moment. I would probably used 1/2 of my jack pipe or a beefier piece of wood.

Raj, you ever get it off? Did the belt work? I'm finding it real hard to understand why it's not coming off with all that space to work with. You can just about use any tool!

Well. It took me about 15 minutes of set up (taping the knob and getting the vise grips just right on the shaft), another 10 minutes to break a smaller strap wrench (should have gone with the bigger one right away) and another 5 minutes to break the lock tight, take the knob off and put a new one on. A total of 30 minutes. Not bad, I expected a lot worse.

No damage to the stock knob.

Actually, I learned from your experience (pays to research) and got a set that had two wrenches included. Thank you for that.
