The right socket will fit around them although they don't look like they really take a socket(Don't remember what size).. But take those off and then pull it out..

I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

The earlier models need a smaller plate that basically raises the actual shifter tower up almost 1/4" where as on the 2000 model, you need to take out the foam lining that is accessible from under the car and put a plate there in it's place.. The foam actually went up into the car, so the Steeda having the longer base would make the shifter cable rub.. The plate that I made for mine gave the clearance I needed..
