Guys...don't feel bad. In a lot of cases, removal of the stock knob is really a two person job depending on the type of tools you have (or don't have). A buddy and I worked at it for over 45 minutes before we could get it off. It was a b!tch to be honest.

Funny thing is...he drives a WRX and changed his shift knob recently. Took him about 10 seconds and the only tools he needed were his hands.
