push on
to remove, grab the stick and pull the knob up firmly, mind giving yourself a black eye though!
JCW knob simply push fits, 60 second job!

search the forums, there are pics of the aero rear spoiler about

Yep as MJS says, the geaknob is a push on.......pull the gearknob as hard as possible and then some and it will come off......I have the JCW gearknob and it does feel nice and much sporty than the standard item.

You need to pull the surround and gaitor up first to avoid ripping the gaitor. Then pull the gear knob off and the knob and gaitor come away as one. Push the gaitor over the knob and you'll see how it's connected. Undo and repeat the process in reverse with the new knob.
