Wooden gear Kob
I've just bought my first Alpha, It's a 156 1.8TS 1999. Every thing about the car is superb, except it has the wooden trim. Ive bought some momo parts for it (Gear knob & Handbreak handle.) But i can't for the life of me work out how to remove the old wooden stuff. On many other cars there is a simple screw holding it on, or they just pull off easy. There is no screw and i've tried pulling AND twisting. Don't want to break anything though. How Do You Get Them Off. Are they Held on by magic? Do i have to break them off? Somebody please help! -- Simon J |

That is certainly the case with the plastic ones.
