The Tommy Kaira Hebi Bebi Shift Knob Thread  - MY350Z.COM Forums  at first i wasn't sure about the mushroom-ish shape of the knob, but after using it for 6 months, i'm sold sold sold. i've always been a fan of round knobs, and this knob feels like a round knob when gripped from the top. but... the knob can also be gripped more like a cylinder (or nismo-shaped) knob if gripped from the side. it's a great balance, and extra super heavy. and the TK turtle is sick. and it's made of brass. brass. on another note, i would do evil things to get this knob (in black finish): Tommykaira - Aluminium Shift Knob - Nengun Performance evil, evil things. *edit* i should note my knob has more of a matte finish like in this picture:

Mine was on so tight when i put the strap wrench on it actually tore the leather off the shift knob.. and even after that i put the channel locks straight on the knob and it tore the plastic
 the knob ended up coming off in pieces.

Just tried the strap-wrench method and get this...
The strap wrench snapped! Damned Nissan and their thread-lock. *shakes fist*

Has anyone here tried using a heat gun or other heat source to heat the knob (and loctite underneath)? I'll be installing my new knob sometime next week, and was thinking of this approach. In many applications, heating loctite melts it and its ability to lock the threads. Figured i might try this approach . . . any opinions?
