T18 problems

OK..... I know this will sound stupid but here we go.
1.shifter goes into transmission.
2.Cap holds it in.
3.Pin on shifter sheers (shifter will rotate 360 degrees)
How do you get the cap off#%^$^#%^
I have read the diagrams and appears to be threaded. but can not get it to move any help on this would be great. 1964 F100 custom cab 292Y with T18 divorced transfercase.
Thanks

If you have a 1964, you do not have a T-18, it wasn't available until 1965.

You have the Borg Warner T-98. It uses the same shift lever retaining cap as the T-18 (8MTH7220), which threads on/off.

Once you remove the cap, you will see the shift lever retaining pin (COTT7B125A-5/8" x 1/4" diameter). You cannot see it beforehand, as it's covered up by the cap.

Be very careful if using a pipe wrench to remove the cap, using this method may cause the cap to become oval. It may come off, but will be damaged beyond repair.

Call me nuts, but the one on my 64 has two flats to put a wrench on it.

Yep it does but would rather buy a cap than wipe the threads off the top of the case.
