      Gear shift knob...

      [-o< Has anyone replaced or know how to replace the stock shift knob in the 05 sedan? I really don't want to break anything, but it's not turning when I give it some muscle, but I don't want to put to much on it and break it. Can anyone help me? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.

      you have to put it in boiling water, or pull straight up really hard.

      Is it just stuck on with gummy stuff or glue or something? I was trying to unscrew, like the average person would think it would be, but I am dealing with an American car. I'll give it try now, thanks.

      your dealing with a daewoo "american" car

      but its press fit, but the plastic expands faster than the metal so heating it allows it to come off.

      or since it is press fit, pulling really damn hard works too but i personally would think you could damage the "ball joint" of the shifter pulling that hard.
