almost all of them should just unscrew, u may have to crank it some. If it wont come then there may be 1 or 2 screws on the front of it (side not facing you) that are holding it on.

ok i got it off but im not sure how to put that metal clip/pin that came off back on? i think it holds the button on so it doesn't go flying off when you let go of it.

Isn't there a slot in the base of the ****? Not 100% sure since mine came with a B&M megashifter. If I remember correctly there's a little slot in the base of the **** that when you slide the **** over the shaft you should be able to slide the clip in that slot and snap it in.
