Make sure the bottom of the shaft is 7mm wide! If you have to force it over the gear head, you'll lose the clicking functionality. It needs to be able to move up and down over that gear head freely. Mine was too small so I used a small file to enlarge the opening. Also, make sure you add a bit of grease to any moving parts, especially where metal meets plastic.
When prying up on the outer ring you may scuff up the plastic. Use a rag or cloth to keep from scuffing up the black plastic as you pry upward. Great video. The assembly process gets a little funny if you don’t put it back exactly as you took it apart you can have trouble screwing in the one long screw at the center of the dial. The housing was a little rough Bc it felt like I was going to break them but, get right under them and pry straight up it will make a loud click as it pops off. This worked for me! Good luck.
Really helpful video, but I've no idea how to get the unit out of the centre console in order to carry out the replacement! Do you have a similar video to explain how to get it out?
Hi there, unfortunately we do not have our own video that demonstrates this, however there should be similar videos on RU-vid to show you how. - Georgina, X8R Ltd
For me it was because the bottom of the shaft was supposed to be 7mm wide, but it was only 6.75mm. The gear head it fits over is 6.9mm which means I initially had to force it on. This is a problem because the shaft needs to be able to move up and down over that gear head freely. I remedied the problem by using a small file and enlarging the opening to 7mm. After that, I got the click back!
