I think some oem knobs use a set screw. That will likely be right where the top of the boot is on the front or the back.

I used a slide hammer. It makes it very easy.

How did you go about that? How did you mount the slide hammer?

Gear knob removal
In most cases, the original can be removed by twisting the lower portion of the knob counter clockwise. If there is no set screw, this is how they were originally locked in place.

No. They pull straight up and off, as everyone else has already pointed out. 
I guess you'll be hitting the Chevy dealerships tomorrow.

Original shift lever cross-section is rectangular so the knob will not rotate.... But the lever has notches that the knob catches on, this is what you have to overcome pulling it straight out. Also the slot of knob is lined with felt... Not sure if ibetter than Chevy but it is very well designed.
I put a custom wood knob with alum tube over the lever, no spring fingers inside to catch the notches, too complicated to replicate factory design, so it just has set screws.

It came with some thread on adapters. I used the L shaped adapter underneath the knob. One quick little pop and off it came.
