VCCA Home Forums Thread Like Summary - Shift knob replacement

The shift knob on my 41 SD is broken in half. There is a knub firmly attached to the shifter. I assume I just need to grab it with a pair of pliers and twist to get it off?
The instructions for replacement on Filling station say "

GEAR SHIFT KNOB
Ivory
This plastic gearshift lever knob is correct for all 1940-1948 Chevrolet passenger cars. The knob is ivory in color. Must be heated in hot water to be installed. It has a 3/8" ID hole for installation. Replaces GM# 3665490."

Any idea how hot? It's really just a friction fit?

To install a new knob first soak in hot water. This softens the plastic slightly and also expands the opening.
The flat end of the knob is slightly thicker on on side - that side goes away from the steering wheel, The knob is installed at the same angle as the steering wheel....the reason for the is that the shift lever can be moved with just your finger tips without taking your hand off the steering wheel (if vacuum is working OK)

I have a few new genuine new knobs in stock for $10 + shipping (in the US)
