Replacing gear shift lever - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys, was wondering what the best way to removed the gear shift lever on my truck is. The one in my truck is cut about 1/2 way down (no idea why anyone would do that) so I need to replace it. Rather than replace the whole column, which is fine, I'd rather just replace the lever, looks like I can knab one for $22. Looks like a pin that holds it in place. Do I tap that pin out and then it pops out? How hard is it to pull that pin? I'm guessing it's not easy from the looks of it. Was going to bend the ends in towards the center, and then tap it out with a drift.

Thoughts?
