just unscrew it. it's been on there for years, so don't expect it to be easy.

vice grips help, but you don't really need them.

When I bought my car the previous owner had locktight'd the shit out of the stock shift knob. I had to use two sets of vice grips and twist as hard as I fucking could.

In the end I damaged the hell out of it but it came off.. fuck locktight. =)

If the previous owner of the car was Nissan, that would make sense seeing how they come like that from the factory.

you're not trying to use the oem shift knob again anyways right? Tighten the vice grips on there as hard as you can and yank it!!! mine was down to the bare metal before it came off! i keep that in the car just incase i wanna throw it at someones windshield haha j/k. am i?

Leather shift knobs are supposed to be replaced every 30k. Leather wears and becomes slick. Once it's off it becomes a Pet toy.

It's glued on... It took me 2 vice grips and a hella lot of patients and sweat... It's some sort of glue or compound on it straight off the assembly line... I guess Nissan is trying to tell anyone who wants to take the stock knob off something.... I dont think it's a fashion statement either.... xP

Hope all works well and if you have any questions... Let me know... Laters!!!

Fine! If you can't get it off go find one of you're biggest/strongest friends, buy him a Double Whopper combo w/ onion rings and you'll be done! If he can't get it off, that meal was on him!

Blow Torch. Heat up the knob and it will expand and the glue will burn off.

i remember holding the shifter with vise grips and - i actually cut the rubber with a razor blade and peeled it off - and grabbed the grooved inner hard part with ht echannel locks. get a nice shift knob or if ur hard on cash hit up autozone
