Gear stick gaiter
 

Anyone out there able to tell me how to remove the gear knob on a 2004 Beetle please in order to replace the gaiter?

I know the gaiter pops up from its sitting position at the base of the gear stick but i don't want to prise the disc on the top of the gear knob (which depicts the gear transmission sequence) off with force if it's not what i should do. A metal ring sits underneath the disc on top of the gear knob. Does that need to come off with the disc or just the disc? I guess there will be a screw underneath which releases the gear knob?

In the old days we would just unscrew the knob but that doesn't appear to be what happens here.

Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks, Moose.
