Lumbar Support Wheel

[Lathe Guy]

I'm trying to put on new seat covers and I can't remove the lumbar support wheel. Any suggestions?

I have wet okole covers - not sure what you guys have (truck details in your signature help). Welcome to the forum, both of you guys!



The only thing I can suggest would be based on a wet okole neoprene cover- which is stretchy. I'd cut a small hole, and stretch it around the back of the knob, so the knob is exposed. I did this with the seatback recliner handle and it looks/fits perfect. Not sure if that will work for you guys or not. I have left mine covered, it seems to deflate minutes after cranking it up anyway.

These are Wet Okole also. They came with a small hole in them with stiching around it. It does not come close to stretching over it. Thanks.

This is out of the DR Manual, if you need the images post reply and I can capture and post them somewhere.
