Hi, I have purchased a new gear knob for my 2.0r 06 lib and having trouble getting the original one off. Does anyone have any tips or know how to get it off?

It looks similar to this-

I imagine it would unscrew in an anti-clockwise direction

It unscrews completely but is still inside the stitching just dangling around and does not want to come off.

Sounds like it's actually attached to the gearboot (Sorry I don't have a manual to confirm)

It's easy enough to remove the gear lever surround to you can remove the whole piece to inspect it further.

Pretty sure it has like a lip around the bottom of the knob to hold the boot on, you can just pull it off

Yeah there is a plastic ring holding the stitching to the bottom of the knob... just firmly yank it and it should actually 'pop' off.
