Are you talking about just the handle on the tranny?
The only creeper tranny I had(it was an IH pickup), the handle came off after you unscrewed the "cap" that held it on. Using large channel locks, unscrew it, then the handle just slipped up/out.
Not sure if they had other variations where it unbolted. Either way I can't see it be difficult. Usually the best is to make sure it's in neutral before pulling handle out.

4 speed shift lever retainers
Warner 4 speed transmissions: The cap is threaded = 8MTH-7220.
New Process transmission: The cap has two cutouts, which is held to the shift tower with two internal pins. Push down slightly, rotate 1/4 turn. = B8T-7220-D
Both these parts are available from Ford. The Warner type lasts for years, the New Process type fails on a regular basis.

Thanks guys - putting an A/C unit in my Ford and it will be a lot easier if I do not have to fight getting the correct angle on the dangle or bending my Old Fat Body around that Gear Shift when trying to get everything to fit! Thought if I was only going to get 8 mpg I may as well be cool while doing it.
