I recently came across a very nice wood shift knob from a 1999 C280 which was available to me at a good price. Question now is, how do I get it into my car.

I read the post in the "Do-It-Yourself" section written by a member who had a 1989 (I think) Benz, but I'm not sure that procedure would apply to my car. Last thing I want to do is crack wooden veneers, coatings, etc. or otherwise bugger up the consol. The car is in too good a condition for that.

Does anyone have a written procedure for removing/replacing the shift knob for a 1999 E-Series Benz?

Thank you.
