I got the AE shift **** for christmas and I was trying to put it on. But I couldn't get the stock one off. I tried pulling it off and I tried to unscrew it, but no luck. I'll admit, I am weak and scrony. Am I just not putting enough force behind it? Is there an easy way for weak people to do it?

I did this over the summer and my **** would not twist off no matter how hard I tried.
I ended up having to cut off the ****. I went at it with a knife. It took FOREVER and i cut my hand it the process. But in the end, the AE **** was well worth it.

Good luck.

Lol this is no 1 man matter! Me and my dad tried it for about 1 hr!! Finally we got it. Take a rag if u dont want 2 ruin the **** and then a pair of vise grips and clap it on that sucka. LOL Now 1 grab the vise grips and the other hold the shifter and twist with everything you got. I think its got industrial strenght lock tight. Its insane. But its just threaded on there. It can be done we did it.

some people have it easier than others....in my case, nothing would work, so i had to literally saw it off.

but try this: get a cloth and a pipe wrench(or anything that grips strong) and turn it. if that doesn't work...oh well, time to bust out the saw...

When I did mine, I tried the vise grips with the rag, but it didn't work. It kept turning the leather covering and not the whole **** itself. After that I ended up scratching up the leather on the **** anyway, so I just cut it all off.
