OMG there has to be another way!
Ok I hate this stock knob, I want to put on this nice T-handle I bought,
Thought it would be easy. Damn this nonsense! WTF!!!!
how the hell am I supposed to get this damned thing off????
seen the vids on youtube and wtf? really? I'm only 98lbs soaking wet.
advice needed and bad... now if it comes down to chiseling this thing off I will. But first anyone on here have a T-handle shift knob on their JK? does it fit? will i screw my self by chiseling this thing off? or will I be ok.... this so far sucks.... I want my T-handle damn it!!!
next step is get an external threader.... since I'm learning machining I should be able to thread my damn shift stick into one for my t-handle... I just need the right tools. >.< Has any one tried this?

I got in the back and pulled. You feel like you're gonna pull the stick out of the trans then BAM the knob comes off. I find it easy know. I can do it while driving if I try.

Sit in the passenger seat so you don't have the wheel in your lap
Wrap a rag around it so it doesn't get scratched.
Put a open ended wrench around the shifter, should be the size of the shaft, hold it up against the rag wrapped knob
Wack the wrench with hammer upwards. DO NOT HAVE YOUR FACE ABOVE THE KNOB.
Also, do not have anything in the back seat that can be damaged by flying knobs
Drink beer.

Someone has to say it--sounds like the End of the world for you not getting the handle you want on-get a real problem you can cry about here.
