Default MGW install help needed....

Will post a few pics of the install i'm taking my lazy *** time. I am wondering if the main bolt holding the base of the shifter has thread lock on it? Mine is on tight and i didnt want to remove it because I have none and its midnight. It looks like i need to remove it in order to get the lower rubber boot back on ?? that's the real question because it doesnt look like it will fit without removing it.

For all its worth the install was simple enough but I wish MGW would include instructions. Just pizzes me off when they just throw **** in the box and you might have a simple question instructions could answer

I just trimmed the boot a little to fit around the orange base part of the shifter, I didn't attempt to take it apart. I'm gonna have to look at it tomorrow though cause the orange piece rattles in 3rd gear at WOT
