it's pretty easy. here's the deal. the stock knob has a clip on the bottom. one prong on either side of it. the top of the boot has a collar on it that the knob clips onto. you can pry them, or you can just grab the boot (at the hard plastic top of it) and pull down real hard. just don't tear the boot.
the problem you are then faced with is the boot has a funny shaped hole on top. unless you change the boot, which i haven't, you just deal with it. the plastic collar on top of the boot will rattle against the shift lever, but you can hold it in place with your hand as you shift. it's not a big deal. if you get it off you'll understand it all.
