Default Shift Boot Remove-Manual

I have my interior out to install my roll bar. I want to replace the shift boot while I'm at it. Is there any trick to remove the original?

It's held in with a plastic ring that has a few push style clips. Iirc you squeeze the shift boot from the center and pull up gently and it pops out. These plastic rings are notorious for breaking however and there are metal ones online to replace it with.

I bought one years ago. Still works as it should. GM should have made it like that.
