Elise S1

I used a Softgrip strap wrench (http://www.ccw-tools.com/product.asp?P_ID=23331&gclid=CIqZxOKH0rYCFerHtAodzFwAUw) about £14 but it did not budge.

After rubbing of my head:

1. Cut a piece of wet and dry 600 3 inches width of the sheet.

2. Wrapped that around the knob.

3. Put the wrench tight over the folded wet and dry (sandpaper surface on the knob and rubber of the strap)

4. A good yank and it moved very easily.

5. Off with the knob, slight surface scratches to the knob, no deep marks.

6. On goes the woolen knob warmer for a few hundred miles that will polish them out.

I used a short length of old mountain bike inner tube folded back on itself for double thickness and pulled down condom style. Wound the knob off with a chain wrench (it was v tight starting). Lots of grip and no damage to the knob. Not so good for the inner tube....
