Gear lever lever gaitor replacement

[Steve McF]

Hi all,

I found a nice replacement leather gear lever gaitor for the worn and tatty one in my 9-3 5 sp Aero. The question is, how easy is it to remove the old one, and fit the new one?

If I have to unscrew the gear knob, is it likely to fall apart? And if so, do I then need a new one of those too?

It's not the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

There's a few useful vids from folk who have done it...
