on the shifter where your **** attaches there is two flat spots(i know bad discription). take a pair of plirs or something of the sort and grip that so it cant move. now turn know counter clock wise.

The collar under the shift **** is a actually a lock nut. You can back it off with a 22 mm wrench, and the **** then turns off very easily.
The "1.25" in the bolt dimension is the pitch. It refers to the distance (in millemeters) from one thread to the corresponding point on the next thread.
