Replacing Shift Lever Cover..Need Help

I have a new shift lever cover but can't remove the old one. How do you remove the shift lever knob so new cover can be installed? I see a small screw on the left side of know but after removing it and pulling forward the knob does not seem to want to come off. Does it take a lot of pressure or is there some other way? Thanks for any assistance. James B

If this is an automatic, there should be two screws at one end that you remove, then it tilts up and unclips from the other end. You'll have to remove the shift knob too, IIRC you use a wrench to hook the bottom of it and tap that with a hammer to pop it off, watch for the spring which will likely shoot out of the button. Oh remove the overdrive lockout button first so you don't rip the wires out.
