Does anyone have and copy of Graham's Sagaris handbook to hand?

Been out today - first time in about six weeks - and on the way home my gear stick came loose and started spinning freely! Taken tunnel off to have a look. The gear stick is screwed into what I presume is an inverted bolt that is probably bonded to the bush that sits in the top of the brass gear stick housing. I've taken the stick off and bolt is spinning freely, so I guess it has come 'unbonded'. The problem does not seem to be with the grub screw at the base of the stick housing.

My question is, does anyone have a picture of, or know how to get the bush out of the top of the housing to access the bolt head? Does it prise off, or unscrew? Right/left hand thread? An 'exploded' diagram would help immensely.

Thanks
Martin

Sorted, thanks. Captive (allen) bolt was not bonded but simply tightens up the the gearstick. Most difficult bit was gettingf the tunnel cover off pas the handbrake - bloody tvr! Made sure I realigned the reverse light switch and tightened the grub screw whilst I was in there.
