2020 auto trans shift knob removal??!!

Everything I see implies the shift knob unscrews from the rod it is mounted on. I need to do this so I can get the console out of my way. The amount of force and grip needed to screw it off is beyond me. Am I right to pursue this? I have tried putting a padded wrench on the lower "washer" that the shift boot is attached to with no luck. I could apply more force than I am using, but it seems that will just rip the boot. Thanks

 

Push/pull the boot down, place hand on shifter knob and unscrew. Mine needed a little elbow grease but it came off

 

This is what it looks like detached. As previously mentioned, push down on the chrome pc to unclip ... then unscrew the knob.

 

NO never remove your knob....wait what?? My bad leading thread

 

It's okay to play with it though.

 

Well ok then I’ll move along.

 

if it's not, we're all in a lot of trouble

 

Might as well delete that chrome while you've got it apart...
