So, I got down and did this.... I have an '03 Ranger. The knob will absolutely not twist off. I discovered it is held in place with verticle grooves to keep it from twisting. I had to cut the rubber outside off with a knife. Underthat was a hard plastic shell which I had to bang to crack it off. Under that was an oddlt shaped metal which I bang from the underside so it would slid off the top. Now you see just the stick and can do what you need to do, but you will never be able to use the one you broke off. The knob I was taking off was a little smaller so I sawed off about an inch with a hack saw so the knob would line up with the rubber skirt. It sucked and you will ruin the original knob, but the knob I have on works great and is not going anywhere.
