Removing T6.1 gear knob (manual)

[T6ARF]

For those of you with a T61 manual 6 speed gearbox with the tacky black rubber/plastic gear knob. I tooknthe bull by the horns and removed mine. First the cap showing the gear layout - that is moulded as part of the gear knob. I sliced the cap off with a stanley blade, then split the gear knob down each side with the stanley blade and peeled the rubber gear knob off like peeling and orange. Photos show the rubber gear knob and what was left under it which is bonded to the shaft. So for future ref - this is what you are getting into if you want to remove only the gear knob and not want to fit the whole new surround, gaitor, shaft and knob.

Thank you so much for taking the trouble to send me this. If my existing plans don't work out I may have to fall back on these.
Thanks
