Default 76 auto-shift lock system removal

I have a 76 automatic and I am trying to remove the shifter so I can replace the two shifter slip seals... BUT I have an Anti Theft Key Lock on the top of the shifter. I cannot figure out how to remove it. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks!

Here are a few!

This image shows the entire shifter. The top silver part has a key hole in the top.

This image shows the key hole from the top view.

This image shows how the key fits into the top of the shifter (to lock and unlock the shifter, you turn the key position).

This image shows how the top button presses down.

This image shows the the center console plate is only being held in place now by the shifter (which is what I am trying to remove so I can access underneath it to change the shifter seals).

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to look at the images!

On a regular shifter the button just screws off, maybe that one will too.
