Set of mole grips were required for both my current one, and the 135R... however, you need to be careful of making gouges in the gearknob when doing this. A bit if wet & dry to give it the 'machined' look does the trick if you do mark it. :thumbsup
I have no signature.

Or just use the rubber strap type oil filter remover.
