shift nob help

Hi everyone, this is my first time on this site. I have recently purchased a 2004 Dodge Viper SRT/10 Convertible. I will be posting up pictures a little later, I am making little modifications in the interior of the car. I need some help with removing the stock shift-nob. I did follow some instructions given with removing the round cap first and pushing the leather sleeve down, I see the big hex nut i believe it's called and the smaller nut underneath it. I have put a wrenches on both of them but they are not budging whatsoever. I'm not a small guy but this is not budging, I don't want to break something and then end up screwing myself but any help is needed. Thanks. =)

Is a nob like a noob? Or is that where David fled to in the Bible?

Mine broke loose fairly easy. I know it sounds dumb, but make sure your twisting the lower nut the right way. And dont be afraid to use a little force, Crack it loose and the nut will spin down and then you can twist the knob on up and off.

It would be wise for you to hire someone to perform future modifications if the shift knob threw you off.
