   Cut it off or look for a small allen screw (pull away the gaitor ... could be under it in a small channel)

    hahahaha you need to pull sooooo hard but feels like your going to pull the gear stick from the bottom of the car instead

    That's exactly what I was worried about!! So I got someone else to do it so it'd be their fault if it broke, lol

    My gear knob was a struggle, but a twisty pull helped.

    For future reference, Twist 90 degrees, then pull. Makes life a lot easier.
