take off the gear gaiter and pull out the pin holding the gear stick in place. Then sling it in a vice or something and pull the gearknob off.

try a hot cloth wrap it round it for a bit see if that loosens it, mine just pulls off isnt that hard, which type is it though? is it the rubberish one or the one like in tigra's?

if its a corsa b you just have to pull like fuck but try to hold the bottom of the stick so you dont do any damage!! sometimes twisting it a litlle helps to work it off
