A gas axe will do the job, but assuming you want to replace the knob at some point and you'd rather not torch your Freelander then I recommend you attempt to unscrew the said object from the shaft.

Suspect turning with some upward pressure is required, it is screwed onto a threaded shaft. Sounds like your thread has part stripped.
Hello everyone,
I have the same question except mine is the auto gear knob (2006 Td4). Youtube has a video but again this is for the manual gear knob.
I found a "Wiki" answer which says you need to put the car in Neutral, press the selector button and yank it (hard) upwards and the knob will come off. I just wanted to check if this is true before I attempt (and break) anything.
My leather gaiter needs changing and am planning to order one off eBay.
Thanks in advance,
Darren

When pulling make sure your not looking down over it, coz it will hurt when it suddenly lets go.
