Default Silly Question

Hi,

A "junior member" to this forum. I bought a new shifter surround plate for my '70 Corvette and am trying to figure out how to remove the shift **** in order to install the new plate. It's an automatic.

No such thing as a "silly question"! They're all important to someone.
