theres a jam nut butted against the bottom of the shifter ****. take a wrench of appropriate size and hold the jam nut in place while unscrewing the ****, it will come apart. Try not to simply twist the **** off, if it's pretty tight you can cause some damage to the bushing/ball/pin down under the boot trying to get it off carelessly.

might I also suggest a strap wrench, I seem to remember
loosening that nut on the bottom a bit to make it easier to
remove the ****? So when you put a new **** on you screw
it down and then tighten the nut against it to hold it in place.
