Before I give myself a hernia what is the best way to remove the gear knob. I don't want to break it getting it off. Not sure if you just pull it as hard as you can or does it have a twist and pull sort of removal.

Tip: make sure you sit in the center of the car. Twist and pul a bit. Do not try to get it loose in one or two twists.

When you eventually get it off, you'll see why they are so difficult! Kinda upside down barbs which you're pulling against.
