try harder! I'm pretty sure they just screw off.

 

They do, vice grips and a towel, clamp that **** on there and turn.

 

may I ask why the hell this is in the appearance/ cosmetic forum?

I would do this as a last resort, keep trying to do it by hand first...

 

why a last resort? doesnt hurt the shift **** if you wrap a towel around it.

I don't know, I would just be real careful...I don't even wear rings to scratch my **** (maybe I am just **** about stupid ****). Maybe try a Craftsman Strap Wrench.

do I need to have something clamping the actual shifter,or will I be cool just clamping the **** and turning.(it just doesnt feel right when I try to twist hard and the shifter seems to twist with it) THANKS

 

If your shifter is twisting w/ it you have issues. That shouldn't be happening.

Dont most/all of the OEM Aluminum/Titanium ***** use a reverse-threaded lock nut underneath? If so, you'll have to loosen it first.
