I replaced my stock shift **** and noticed a blue colored thread locker on the bolt. It did take a little effort to break the lock but it released. 
How is the manual shift knob help on?

How is the manual shift **** held on?
I bought a C6 Z06 shifter from one guy and the ****/boot from another. Now I have these 3 parts sitting on my bed and I'm trying to figure out how the go together. It looks like there's a small bolt that holds the **** on the shifter on the left side? Is there anything else? Anyone know what size bolt it is?
This is going into a C5 so I don't have much reference

I just removed mine for the first time on my 06Z. I was surprised to find out how tight it was to remove the torx screw. It turns out after almost stripping the screw head, the threads had loctite threadlocker on it. Just letting you know it might take a little extra boots to get the shift **** screw unfastened. Good luck!

Bludog,
On my '08 I just lowered the boot by giving the chrome ring at the top a half twist and had access to the bolt. I've posted a photo to show the stock shifter and the chrome ring.

Maybe I misunderstood. I thought you wanted to replace the boot and shifter ****. Whats kinda strange is I don't have that chrome ring at the top of the boot on mine
