My shift knob won't come off!?

[chuko]

I tried to take my stock shift knob off from my 90 240, and it's so TIGHT... I did everything people did here, got a towel, plier, tried to unscrew it counterclockwise, didn't work!!  I took all the tools out, broke the leather, vinyl, & plastic layer, now I can see the silver-metal part of the knob.  I tried so hard to unscrew it, I was only able to turn it half of the circle!!  Any idea what I have do, thanks in advance,

make sure your turning counter clockwise... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> &nbsp;but all i did was take a Vise Grip... And twisted that mofo.... you dont have to worry about breaking anything except for the leather which will prolly tear off...it takes a while to get off... but i mananged to get mine off..

chuko,
Try using the SEARCH feature next time because I had the same problem as you a while back and I posted it. &nbsp;You'll probably make more peeps happy that way.

PS: I had to turn it clockwise first in order to break the seal on the threads. I think there was some glue on it or some $H!7
