Yeah if yours is the standard leather boot, it's easy!
Unclip the grey surround first from the centre console then pull boot up over the gear knob. There are two Velcro pieces ( one wraps round the gear lever shaft and the other splits to make the opening wider on the boot) undo the one round the shaft and split the gaiter a bit wider via the Velcro and off she comes. No need to remove the knob.
