Mine came off with just a good pull. Wasn't really hard at all. Didn't even need both hands to pull it off.

Just make sure there is no small hidden Allen screw holding it in place. Then, like 32 said - open the sunroof, stand on both seats, and pull like a mother. Be careful of your aim when it finally comes off or your voice will go up a few octaves.

Mine has a set screw then it slides off with zero effort.

Lift the shift boot all the way up and the set screw is underneath, facing the front of the car.
