Help removing shift ****

Anybody have any experience removing this style shift ****? Force alone doesn’t seem to be doing the trick.

Thanks!

I ended up getting it off with some leverage. There were 2 parts; the ball and the collar/boot came off independently. I posted because I suspected that was the case and didn't want to yank on the wrong part.
