I have a '58 Fairlane with 3 on the tree, and I want to remove the knob on the end of the shifter.  Has anyone tried this without breaking it?

Hi Gordie,

They're glued on at the factory and I've had some come off in my hand if you pull hard enough while others required surgery with a cutting wheel on a Dremel.  I did have sucess with getting one off of a '56 shift lever by leaving it in the low gear position and soaking the lever and the knob a few times by shooting WD-40 on it a few times over a week.
