I hit mine with a air chisel spun that knob right off

:icon14: did you use vicegrips to hold the shaft? ... i hope.

All you need is a towel and one of these rubber can opener things. You can also buy a whole roll of these, they sell them as kitchen drawer mats. Wrap this around the knob, then wrap it with a small towel so you don't thrash your palm, and it should break loose.

if you're lucky your car didnt come with so much thread lock, then yes.

South Bend knob installed! >=) FTW!!!!!

1. wrap oem **** knob with some duct tape
2. get a rag/cloth around the upper part of boot and put on vice grips with the handle towards the drivers side so u it will hit your knee when twisted
3. get a C-clamp around the duct tape and lefty loosey... and u will have damaged nothing
