I am trying to remove my center console to fix the transfer case bushing and cannot remove the 4WD Shift Knob on my 2010 JK. Any tips or tricks to get it off? I tried to pop the top off and remove the retainer bushing and pull off -- no luck. I tried twisting gently w/ a strap wrench -- nothing.

Thanks guys.

Shift to 4 low pull really hard don't hit your self in the face

Rag or something around the T case shaft if you don't want it scratched, crescent wrench or channel locks of your choice under the knob, tap up with hammer/mallet etc. Like mentioned beware of flying objects

Just did this today with a strap wrench. twist slightly and loosen it, it will pop right off. The 4WD knob snapped back in. The 6 speed shift knob, not so much.

Shift to 4 low and give a hard pull.

I know exactly how you feel. I had to replace the same bushing. Get in between your front seats, a leg on each side, then pull the knob like your life depends on it. I found being in the middle the best way because it allows more force.

This works well--it doesn't take very hard taps, either. But I use a piece of painter's tape around the shaft, and the rag over the knob to keep it from hitting my nose, LOL.

Thanks everyone. I will give it a try this afternoon. Let you know how it goes and if I break my nose or groin.
