Removing stock shift ****?

Hi, I recently purchased a 1991 FC manual 5-speed and am new to this website.

i would like to remove the stock shift **** and most guides say it just twists off. Mine doesn’t seem to, and I’m afraid of potentially breaking something in the gearbox. Am I just not twisting hard enough or is there another way of doing it? My FC is a convertible, so I’m convinced they made it difficult to removing in case I leave it with the top down.

There is a lock nut under the shift **** on the bottom of the shift boot, is it already loosened?

If not, use a crescent wrench to loosen it and then try and unscrew it.
