By the way, thanks for the great photos, including your detailed step by step of 'how to' on this project _ Good stuff!

Cheers!
Sure thing, what you need to do is stick the screw driver at the based of the handle that the metal arm goes into. The handle is "T" shaped, you want leverage at the bottom of the T with the screwdriver's edge then pry up. DO NOT pull or pry on the outside no matter what you do the inner clips are strong then you might think, but with the screw driver at the base it will give and pop right off.

Think about removing the OEM shift knob, you dont pull on top you place leverage at the base the pop it off .

I hope this is clear enough. If you can peer into the cavity you will see the base that needs to be caught for leverage.
