I have heard of people breaking stuff. My dealer did when they replaced my shifter and they got me a brand new one. I got mine out without damaging anything with a rubber strap wrench after rolling a microfiber cloth around the knob. It was on extremely tight.Title says it all...that sucker is on there. I know all the techniques for getting it off, just curious if anyone ever broke or damaged anything trying to crank that sucker off?
That is how mine felt. Put a strap wrench on it and it will goMine can twist a bit, but once I start to unscrew it an 1/8 turn it feels like it's tightening again. Never played around with it past that.
Nope, didn’t damage anything. As others have said, strap wrench with small towel over the knob and it came off easy for me. Not so much a matter of strength, more so keeping pressure where it needs to be. I had a better appreciation of the quality of the stock knob when I got it off.Title says it all...that sucker is on there.

I used my friend's golf glove, some cuss words and a little grunt and I was able to screw the stock shift knob off quite easily.Feels great. Its quite heavy, and now the shift action is much more precise (to me).
I have larger hands, and the size of this one fits much better in my hand than others. Quality of the work is top notch. It was done by Anarchy Motive. Takes a good bit of time but being entirely customizable and done at this level of quality for the price, I'm happy with it.
