You need to (carefully) prise up the centre cap.

Underneath you'll see the screw holding it in place.

The ones I have removed from 915 type gearbox just pull off (no screws). They can take quite a bit of force though. Tapping with soft hammer from below usually works.

If its a 915 as Geoff says, but use a suitable size open ended spanner that fits around the shaft and butts up to the underside of the knob, then hit the spanner instead of the gear knob, G50 is as Chris says.

Ah yes, well spotted guys. My assumption was that it is a G50 g/box.

 

[totsnap]

Ah yes thanks guys... it is a G50 box so chris you have the answer I needed - many thanks!![][]
