A couple of months ago I bought a new shift knob and I glued it on with blue loc tite around the thread. Now I want to switch back to my stock one and the damn thing wont come off....anybody know how to remove this without damaging the shift lever?

Blue loc-tite should break loose eventually, you may need to bang on it (cover it with something and you may be able to bang the loc-tite loose) or you could try heat (loc-tite says it needs to be heated up to 500 deg. though )

I had a simliar problem with my HT bolts that were lock tite'd on after a while they finally broke loose (but it was a major PITA )

Good Luck

2 cents, I would get a strap wrench. I got mine at Auto Zone: good luck

A strap wrench? I will try that because the banging didnt work...Will it damage the lever and I turn this thing counter clockwise right?

Just a question...

Why did you loctite your shift knob?

i also want to know why you glued a shift knob that has a nut to keep it in place??

Mr. Eryozgatliyan

LOL..."I cant get my knob off" Get some Viagra dude!

Anyway, I got an ARC knob a while back, and I never loctited it, and for some reason I cant get my SHIFT knob off now. I guess I'll try banging my knob a little.

Thanks for the input guys
