They are just pressed on... aftermarkets require a set screw of some sort but stock are press fit. Even my GT3 shift knob presses on. Very secure. No issues.

The shifter knob is removed by pulling straight up. Make sure you don't smack yourself in the face once it comes loose. Some replacement boots have a screw holding them on

I did the same when pulling the Wood Nardi steering wheel off on my X1/9 when I was 20 years old.....hit me right across the bridge of the nose and knocked my silly for a few seconds!
I remember sitting in the drivers seat with the wheel in my hands thinking "What the h_ll just happened!??"

LOL, I did the same thing trying to remove the pulley off a bug generator when I was that age. I hit myself right between the eyes. Now I have a small scar to remind me not to do that anymore. The benefit of getting older is it looks like a wrinkle now
