HappyGorilla Posted 8, February 2018 Report Share Posted 8, February 2018 Hey guys, I just purchased the stainless steel gear knob for my RS 265 and was wondering if anyone knew how to get the old one off? Apparently you twist and lift up? Or do I undo the boot first and undo some clips? Any help would be good. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slippers Posted 8, February 2018 Report Share Posted 8, February 2018 Just pull. I did mine just by pulling. Did you buy from dealer? My knob came with instructions and im 99% certain it is a hard pull straight up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttimbo Posted 8, February 2018 Report Share Posted 8, February 2018 My experience is, if you don't hit yourself in the face when it comes off....you're not doing it right 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aress Posted 8, February 2018 Report Share Posted 8, February 2018 There's a whole thread devoted to this, I think it's titled 'Robbie' s knob' and should be in the Meg 3 section, probably the technical pages. Try searching there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halfcab Posted 17, February 2018 Report Share Posted 17, February 2018 Pull straight up, then find the spring that flew out. Keep your face out of the way too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGorilla Posted 19, February 2018 Author Report Share Posted 19, February 2018 (edited) Thanks for all your help once again. It's with great success and have a new Renault Sport gear knob fitted and it's glorious. I will say one thing the original knob is heavier which I liked more but the new one is so much more comfortable and I did adjust it to be shorter by approx 2-3cm which is good enough for now. I have a few pictures I found on the line to help out anyone else. Also a few just to show off abit haha. Sorry in advanced if there not in a nice n tidy order.
