Remove gearknob then pull the gaitor from the bottom upwards as its clipped in2 the centre console then there will be a cable tie at the top, chop it off and the gaitor should just come off

You can also do it by removing the stick completely via the bottom clip, difficult but you'll then be able to put the gaiter on from below or have more purchase on the stick if you want the knob off.

This is what I'd do.

And removing the whole gear stick is relatively simple - if you have a Haynes manual it's in there.

In fact, I have the page scanned in as a PDF, so u2u me your email address if you wish
