I have 3 equally spaced holes that may be threaded but there are no allen set screws in them that I can see. I tried ever size one Ihave just in case I'm blind but no luck. There's nothing in there. The knob rotates but independently of the base portion with the three holes. Even if the knob came off I'm pretty sure that the base portion is too thick to slip through the gate.
Is there a special spanner that grabs the three holes and then you unscrew the base?
JTIS is useless. Maybe it's just the version I have but this the most worthless service manual I've ever seen. The navigation is horrible and totaly unintuitive. I couldn't even find a section for the shift linkage.
Is there a decent later other format manual or an aftermarket one?

...I'm speechless - you must be clairvoyant - those were the first two suggestions that came into my head - sawzall & copious quantities of mind altering substances for the results oriented man - perfect combination

It's worth (more than) what you paid for it.
But it's horrid. Very dated. Bear in mind jag don't use it any more. You can use some (all?) of what they use via GTR (TOPIx) but it costs more.
Alldatadiy may be better? I plan to give it a go..... one day. Maybe. The free trial put me off.
You might be able to order printed workshop mauals but even if you can I bet they're like $1000.

This just seems silly but ...
I had a close look. Three holes on the stem but no set/allen screws.
I tried twisting the stem with my fingers but it doesn't budge.
The knob itself rotates though.
I'm pretty sure you HAVE to remove this to get the radio/NAV facia surround off so this was done recently by a stereo unistaller just before I bought the car.
So maybe they left the set screws out?
Is the lower stem supposed to rotate off or just slip off?
If they used loctite then I think I have a mess on my hands.
