I'm not sure if this where this belongs. However here's a brief question: how can I remove the boot from the OEM shifter?

I have the VW brushed aluminum shift knob and I have also uninstalled the OEM knob/boot (per the instructions on vwmafia.net) but nowhere did I find out how to remove the stock boot to use with the aluminum knob. Can this be done?
TIA.

Thanks!
Just another question, though. I tried like hell last night to pull off the black clip off (http://vwmafia.net/~gtimatador/PIC00010.JPG), to no avail. Should I "persuade" it a little with a small flat screwdriver? Or should it be quite hard to pull off?

Yeah, thanks. This is definitely going to come in handy.
