lift the gaiter up over the knob itself and you'll see a clip/strap around the neck

undo/butcher that and it will pull off

its pretty difficult but if you wedge 2 flat headed screwdrivers in between the knob and plastic bit then eventually break it free.

be carefull not to let one of the screwdrivers slip and inpale in your hand :whistle:

did mine last weekend, bit of a pig of a job to be honest, but it can be done
