Those things get stuck on there even with all the hardware off. Pull straight up really really hard...try not to hit yourself in the face with it when it pops free.

Under the plastic plate that has the shifter numbers on it there is a silver metal piece that you need to pull straight up on to remove it. Once it is removed, the leather shifter ball comes off by turning it counter clockwise.

And you'll probably never get that wedge out by pulling or tugging. It's driven in there with a hammer. In the link I posted above is a method to get the wedge out.
