Gear selector knob removal Disco I

[rcook]

Can someone tell me how to remove the gear selector knob on 97 Disco I?Trying to replace torn up selector sliding tape. Everything is out except can't get knob off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pop the cover off the top with a small screw driver. Remove the clip. Remove the plastic wedge thing. Remove the button from the side. Remove the nut. Pull up.

That's it! There's a small clip on top of the wedge-thingy. Once you take that off, it all comes apart.

OK, so there is a nut below all this and once removed the knob can be pulled off?

Yes. I think it may require a deep-well to get down past the stud and it's a fairly large one.

Success !!!...has "murphy" would have it got to the last brass screw in upper left corner and the head stripped out, finally worked it out w/needle nose pliers. Thanks to all for the suggestions. I'll let u know how it all goes back together.

19mm nut. Most often you don't even need a socket. A flat head screwdriver can be used to loosen the nut. It's usually on that loose.
