i suggest, in this order

- trying it with your hand, if it's really on there
- use a rubber oil filter wrench with a towel wrapped around it, if it's still tough
- pop up the shifter ring and get a pair of vice grips to make sure you don't overtorque the shift stalk, and REALLY turn it

it'll eventually come off
