Getting trolled by a ****
trying to get my shift **** off and not sure what the hell... i've turned this thing counter clockwise 5 times and it still havent broken loose...
the puzzling part is that it looks like other parts are being turned around also..

I think Rochester had to use some pliers to get his off, but in your case, since something else is moving while you turn, it could complicate things further.

How did you get your shift boot off while the **** is still there, and without lifting the bezel?
Some people get lucky, and can do it themselves, by hand.
Also, mine never "broke loose" as others have described. In fact, it never turned freely until the last couple of threads. And there are a lot of threads.
- Two people.
- One large channel lock wrench securing the shaft under the boot.
- One large channel lock wrench to un-screw the ****.
- A willingness to accept that the OEM **** will likely get trashed.

the boot isnt off its just pulled up to show the rubber boot getting turned with the ****.. i wrapped my **** with an old leather belt then used channel locks but it still ripped/pulled the leather on the ****.. i guess i'll have to get a friend.

Oh! So that dirty rag is actually the underside of the leather boot? I missed that completely. I suspect you've been slowly turning the **** on the shaft by hand, but I sure wouldn't be strong-arming that thing without securing the shaft while turning it.
Good luck, buddy.
Let's see pics of the **** you're wanting to install.
