Unscrew it... assuming it's an M6.

unscrew it. its got lock tight on it so you have to give it a pretty hard twist

If it's an auto, there is a slot in front of the knob base where it goes over the lever. Inside that slot is a "U" shaped clip. With a mini regular (flat head) screwdriver, or pick, pick out the "U" and the knob will pull strait off.. Slide the new knob on and push the clip back into the slot till it stops..

Not its not gonna break it, that ball would give far before the actual stick would. (also, thats what she said).

I've got the same shifter in my car, hate it. Just keep spinning it counter clockwise and it'll come off. The best time to do it is when the inside of the car is really hot. The metal expands and doesn't allow the ball to freely spin.
