AE shift **** removal & leather boot ?

This is kinda sad, but I can't figure out how to remove the shift ****.... I got a new **** and leather boot the other day. Is there a pin holding the **** together or do I just twist it off? For the leather boot I presume I have to take apart the shift console? And what exactly is the boot holding onto?

Thanks guys

Twist off hella hard. Use Vices if you don't have enough oomph.

i want to change mine too...but my shift **** is weird...u gotta pull up on this little thing so that you can shift it into reverse. this seems to make changing the **** alot more complicated. not sure though.

listen to maxboost, you have to twist off hella hard, I have a 01 AE and i also changed my shift ****, i had to use vise grips to take it off, I tore the hell out of the stock shift ****.

This thread is pretty funny, i was just in the garage the other day trying to pull my stock "plastic looking" shift **** off my max. I bought a AE **** from Courtesy Nissan the other day for about $60. The garage door was closed and i started sweating my ***** off. I decided to just leave it till my B&M sts gets here.

<Glad i wasnt the only one having this problem>
