The gear knob just pulls off mate (you need to waggle it as you pull, it's very tight). It's not over-engineered 

New one pushes on but you got ya give it a good thump to get it fully home.

Fascinating. In the exploded parts page published above, top left hand corner, there is a bottle of something, I now presume glue, something like Loctite. I expect that is to attach the knob to the stick. All is explained.

Clearly a bottle of lube, for the more adventurous technician...

I'll verify later, but I think that's thread-lock for the bolts you were having the difficulty with 

BTW, I had used the diagram of the Carlton gearstick here because it is virtually identical to the Omega one and all the parts are shown on one page in EPC whereas the Omega one is split over multiple diagrams.

Thank you. I eagerly await your verification. There certainly was thread lock on the nut strip I dislodged, as can be seen in my pic. I still like my locking fluid theory. I imagine your pic came from a manual with some text, or labelling.
