How do I change my reel knob?

Hey guys,
I've been doing alot of research around lately, seeing if I can change the small part of the reel handle that you actually hold. It has a plastic cover that, after lots of use, partly melted away and its becoming extremely uncomfortable to fish with. I looked everywhere but only saw articles and videos that included unscrewing a screw inside the reel knob. But when I opened my reel knob there was nothing to unscrew so I have no idea how to chnage it.I have a Shimano saros 4000f but I've only seen the unscrewing thing done with the Stradic and Curado. There was one video where someone sawed the knob off, the dilled in with a dril bit, pushed the rest of the old knob out and refitted it with a EVA Knob. I'm going to keep looking but any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks my doods
