I do know that the balll is not threaded so don't try to turn it. I know this because mine fell off when I got it. I just glued it back on. It has splines, so it needs to be pulled straight up. HTH.

It will come off hard, and when it comes off it will need to be glued back on.

Why force the ball off when you can lift up the boot and unbolt the whole handle from the transmission? Two bolts and it's off.
