Pull very very hard and it will come off, but be carefull not to smack yourself in the face while doing it

When I replaced the gearknob in my Almera, it was very much like that. I don't know what glue Nissan use, but bloody hell!!! Eventually a junior hacksaw and a bit of sweat and we eventually got the OEM one off...

you could always try spraying some disolvant in the gab by the joint (white spirit, tric, even petrol) just watch your seats!!!

I have been told that it is really difficult to get off, but then you already know that by now. So try twisting slightly and pull at the same time.
