i now this from experience, in the front of the stem of the shifter there a notch where a staple looking keeper comes out of, if you pull that out then the shifter head should just pop right off, if not, dont force it or it will break

ok well i got that pin pulled out, and the **** isn't budging. do i need to do anything else?

well when i got a new one at the junkyard it just pulled off for me, my other one broke cause my frined decicded to twist it off with the pin still in, but thats wierd

it came off eventually. i just had to pull and pull, and pry it off with a flat head screw driver. came right off then.

I usually hit them with a hammer.

I'd recommend a rubber mallet instead if you have one.
