It's screwed on but with locktite. I'm afraid its a brute force job.
Cover it with a tea towel or cloth, get a mahoosive set of grips and get sweating

Mine was well easy to get off.
Pablo which gear knob did you go for? I have a MOMO Air Race Leather.

Yep..it's brute force...I wrapped mine in a towel and used a big pair of grips...still managed to scrape the old gearknob though.
I put the gear into first..didn't move around as much but it took about 10mins to come off....it's glued first then screwed right down on its thread to the bottom.
