How do you remove a gear shift knob on a 2004 ford ranger?

Answer 1

It is pressed on. You have to cut it off by cutting hte plastic knob. Once the knob is remove d use a propane touch to heat up the thick nut. Remove the nut with a pair of vise grips. You can now install an after market knob.

I broke off the knob then I was able to use two wrenches to hold the bottom nut and unscrew the top one. From there I had to put a couple layers of Duct Tape on the shaft before I could put the plastic adapter that holds the new knob on to make sure it didn't move at all. It worked perfectly.

Answer 2

you gotta twist it to the left really hard, sometimes it do a little pop don't worry about that.

Answer 3

just give it a good quick pull in the upward position and it will come right off.

Answer 4

Try pulling out the little piece that has the shift pattern on it. Then there should be a screw under that. Loosen this screw and it should come off. Good luck.
