Dood, its really hard sometimes. You may want to try to get the boot down and get a wrench on the lower part. It really shouldnt be that hard to remove, I wonder if someone messed something up on that car.

I had to use a pipe wrench to get mine off, it was on there real solid. make sure you are turning it the right way too. But yeah, use a wrench or you'll just hurt your hands.

I dunno about you guys but I never had any problems with any FC's shift ****. Now separating the upper shifter shaft from the lower part can be a PITA.

Counter-clockwise if you were looking down on it.
