IM UPDATING :)
you can actually take the shift knob off. i would say it is easier to take the shifter arm off first by moving the boot down and there is a nut holding it there just loosen it by turning clockwise i think, if not just turn it the other way. with the shifter arm off you would have to actually cut the knob down to the shifter arm itself. there is not really an easier way sad to say. I am about to do this sometime soon with my shift knob.
There is a clip on the front of the knob. Pry it out with a screwdriver.
