It didn't break coming off! The clear plastic cracked putting it back on when tapped it with the metal bar from my jack!!!

Any one have a shifter knob!

Oh man... You should just push it on next time. There is no need to use anything to pull it off. Also what hardware did you use to bolt the trim pieces together? I like the finish on them!

The hardware size I used was 8-32x1/2"

you need 8, I got them at true value. I got black (they were extra) .50 Cents each!

They were extra because black is hardened steel... Overkill for sure but silver would have looked out of place.

You can also just get an after market knob. Run some electrical tape around the top of the shaft and shoehorn that thing on. That's what I did with the pool ball shifter in my Dad's JKU.
