Hi, This is my first post as I have just joined. I have a C3 Pluriel 1.6 senso drive and would like to know how to remove the plastic gear leaver as I then want to remove the silver painted circular base which houses the AUTO button as I want to repaint this part? Any help would be much appreciated. I have tried a bit of force and tried to unscrew the gear leaver but it wouldn't budge.
