Tip tronic gear lever removal

[Astron_Boy]

Hi all

i did try to search, but obviously must be typing in the wrong words.

need to remove the cover underneath the gear lever, i have got as far as removing the rubber boot around the shifter box, then removing the centre trim garnish, but i need the cover over under the shifter arm removed so i can put the plus symbol back at the bottom of the shifter.

anyone direct me to the how to post, or inform me?

okay, i'm kinda in a bind with this.

The damn nut that holds the shifter onto the spindle, I cannot remove.

no matter what I use, it will not undo, no pair of pliers will even make it turn.

anyone have a way to make it turn?, don't wanna spray wd40 down there.

btw yes I am turning it anti clockwise.

any help appreciated.

You need an extra long socket to reach it, can't remember what size

size 12.

bugger, don't have any long ones..

grrrr.

oh well, thanks.

A tube spanner would probably be the best for the job
