How do you remove column shifter knob from a 97 Avalon?

To remove the column shifter knob from a 1997 Toyota Avalon, start by locating the small set screw on the side of the knob, which typically requires a Phillips screwdriver or an Allen wrench to loosen. Once the screw is loosened, pull the knob straight off the shifter shaft. If it feels stuck, gently wiggle it while pulling upwards. After removal, ensure the set screw is properly tightened when reinstalling the knob.
