How much explosives needed to remove shift ****?

Hi all,
I have a '94 Ranger w/5 speed and am trying to remove the shift ****. I cant figure out how it comes off. Is it pressed on? Glued? Welded? All of the above?

I could use some help here, please.

TIA

it is just pressed on......there are splines on the stick and in the ****.......I ended up trashing mine when i took it off to do my clutch(I found out later I did not have to remove it for the clutch).....you can heat the crap out of it if you are not worried about trashing it ..I got a new one at the JY

The center cap on my old broken shifter **** in the 2001 model popped out with a flathead screwdriver. then the splines can be seen and the **** should come off without loosening any bolts or nuts.

I got a very nice replacement **** from Ford, fits good and feels like orginal.

Straddle the center console, one leg on each side. Grip the **** with both hands and pull straight up. Caution, the know will want to smack you in the nose when it comes loose. Reattach using super glue on the splines.

Maybe you can get a 2x4 and cut a slot in it just wide enough to slip around the stick and under the ****. Then wack the 2x4 with a dead blow.
