Mine was not hard AT ALL!!
If you want a boot, just try loosening the stock ****. Mine went really, REALLY easy.... I was surprised!!!
Give it a shot, if it comes off your home free!------Oh yeah... I just twisted with my hands!

I couldnt get mine off, I used vice grips, and towels ect ect.
I ended up tearing the leather on the shifter. and still never got it off.
the boot is right next to me, Ill destroy the shifter eventually to put it on, and replace the shifter with something.

The 04's do not just screw off. They pull off with the boot and console trim. You can then unscrew the **** from the shaft. If you try to turn the ****, it will just spin. I replaced my boot with a leather one with orange stiching. I got it from couresyparts.com. Real easy to do.

try Redlinegoods.com, they have all types of nice leather shiftboots, changed mine over to a burnt orange to match my seats. My shift **** came right off just turning it by hand, really simple install.

Wow, these people talking about shift **** coming off by hand.... 
hope you didn't damage your tranny by doing so. With channel locks on the bottom and vice grips on top, each turn was tight until the 12th turn or so. They must've put globs of Loctite on mine

you need to pop up the console that holds the shift boot and ac controlls up and grip the shifter its self with vice grips to keep it from turning while using another set of vice grips or plyers on the shift **** its self to get it off...

You might try popping up the trim ring first. Removing the **** was a bit scary. Be careful. There are some good posts on the subject in these forums and over at Zchickz.com GL 2U
