Gear shifter on column

[Phone Man]

Gear shifter broke off in my hand yesterday Hooray! Another new piece to add to the truck that no one will ever see. I'm thinking of keeping the cover off to show it off! Maybe get it chromed!

Ok enough sarcasm. Has anyone ever changed one of these before? I'm thinking I can do it without taking the steering wheel off but I'm not sure.
I looked all over and can't seem to find a step by step on it. I may have to pay to have it done? I hate mechanics around me. I always regret them touching anything on my truck.

Thanks in advance.

Is it just the lever or the shift lever control?


*COPIED FROM ONLINE*
If it is just the lever pull the rubber cover back away from the column and you should see a pin or a screw that runs through the middle of the shifter column. Get a small punch and punch the pin out, or if it is a screw just screw it out of the column. It will probably be a star drive screw. Hope this helps
