Yep, you have to twist the collar of the boot 90* clockwise and then pull like a mother, esp if the shifter has never been off before. If it's a boxster, you may need to put the top down and then straddle the shifter to get the most leverage.

Opposite to put back on. Slide shifter on the shaft, make sure it's all the way on, then twist the collar 90* counter-clockwise.
