Rich Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 pull the 'foreskin' over the end, undo metal clip and yank till it pops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 This thread is full of fnarr already, nice work chaps. As Rich says, the clip is pinched on so you'll need to loosen it by sticking a screwdriver in the gap & twisting. You'll see what I mean. I used a set of carpenters pincers to pinch it back up after I'd changed my gaiter, though I'm sure there must be a more properer tool for the job.

I used a set of carpenters pincers to pinch it back up after I'd changed my gaiter, though I'm sure there must be a more properer tool for the job.Thanks for the advice, i used a screwdriver to loosen the clip and take it off, once its off, the gear knob come`s off quite easily, but i pretty much ruined the clip, so i just bought a new fuel line clip, ( a jubilee clip would do, but a fuel line clip is not as bulky ) and used that, simple, job done.
