Well, on the couple I've dealt with, there's usually a set screw near the base that takes a metric allen head wrench to loosen up...then the **** screws off the shifter shaft.

Pull the leather shifter cover down. There's a nut under the **** that needs to be loosened, then the **** simply unscrews by hand.
