I just got my BassTib STS in the mail a few minutes ago and I'm installing it. All is well except I don't see how to get off (I don't know what it's called) the plastic round cap that is on the 'front' ball of the stock shifter (I believe it connects the shifter to the plastic part that goes to cable linkage maybe?). Sorry, I don't know much about the whole setup, but if anyone can please tell me how to get it off, I'd appreciate it. (I'm searching the forums also, just trying to get a quick answer so I can put it all back together. TIA

EDIT: Nvm, my brother was able to get it off for me. Thanks

when i did it i couldnt get it off with pliers either. so i boiled it in water and used a pair of pliers to pull them off afterwards and quickly swapped it over while it was still hot.
