99 S70: removing manual shifter knob

Post by **foggydogg** » 22 Oct 2021, 09:30

Couldn't find the pic with the shaft chucked up in the vice, the cup part number is 3502504

Pretty straightforward once it's on the bench, although I did need the medium-large hammer. Pick the correct size open end wrench for the shaft, put it against the bottom of the offending knob, and wail away.
Shrapnel warning, pieces will fly.

That’s a real deal 17mm Craftsman , not the current crap, isn’t it?

Yessir, although I have a set of the Other that stays in the car.
I used one of those to beat on (see above).

Thank you for the replies. It sounds like I can just twist the boot and pull it down, and that the knob needs to be pried/beaten off the shaft.

Would this method work: Bob's Your Uncle?

It would be great to not take out the mechanism as it's working fine.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if that'll work on that style knob, but it might. I use that method for the -'98 style and it works very well.
