FJ60 4-spd shift knob removal question..

I just bought a new one that should be in tomorrow. Does it just unscrew off the "shaft"?

It just spins off, no drama at all.

I have never had a problem taking those knobs off with a pair of pliers. You could use a second pair around the top of the shaft to keep it from turning if necessary.

I may give that a shot, although I may be careful about getting pliers too close to my shaft and knob. I have noticed that mine hangs a little to the left though. Maybe some pliers would fix that?

Hmmm...i dunno about pliers for that kind of job. My other favorite tool should do the job though...duct tape! You may want to shave first though.















Did I really just post that? Time for me to get out for the day!
