spin the gearnob off anti clockwise and then you should be able to remove the gaiter and gaiter surround (the chrome trim bit) by lifting up lightly. From there on there are just a few tabs that hold the remaining surround in. again just pull at these gently starting from the bottom and it should come away.

I replaced my gaiter and it was dead easy. Just take your time and be gentle. (p.s i didnt need any tools)

good luck
