Shift **** Removal
Sorry for the stupid, perhaps even ignorant, thread. I just got a new leather boot for my 98 and I need to remove the **** **** to put it on. I read somewhere that you can use vice grips and a towel, but it seems really hard to unscrew. My question is, how much torque can i put on the shifter before something breaks. I havent tried the vice grip method yet, but i cant for the life of me unscrew it with my hands. Any input is appreciated, and flamers are welcomed, as I know there will be some. i just dont want to cause any damage to my shift linkage. Thanks

pretty sure theres loctite or something of the sort on the threads. mine was impossible to remove i just saw the **** down the middle so i could pull it off.
i wouldn't do that if its in good condition though.
