Dumb question-shift knob

[vegasblazer90]

I feel very dumb for asking this, but I cannot get the rubber shift knob off of my column shifter on my 90 K5. I ordered a billet handle for her but try as I might ( and I'm a strong guy) I cannot get that rubber knob to come off.
Anything I should try before I get out the Dremel?

I've felt around and cannot feel a set screw anywhere. Is it not a screw off type knob?

Thanks!

Most of the older square body's I had,the colum shifter knob for the automatics were just a slide on fit--but there are splines on the shaft and the knob is undesized,and most likely have some adhesive goop on it from the factory..they are a tight press fit..

Maybe a hair dryer or heat gun to warm it up some and some welding gloves or an oven mitt will let it be pulled off without ruining it..

Thanks. Got it off!
