Wrap the shaft with something soft to protect it,
hold it with pliers & turn the **** off.

counter-clockwise... just like any ordinary nut and bolt.

To the left, and it's important to immobilize the shaft as stated above, otherwise you could screw up the linkage while taking off the ****. To get to the shaft, you must pop up the trim piece that fits around the boot and crawls up into the dash. It's easy to do. Hold your fingers on the trim piece and push down in the boot area.

I used an adjustable wrench[cresent]with a rag on the shift ****.The **** was very tight.I guess Nissan/Infiniti likes using alot of threadlock.Turn counterclockwise.

Simply attempting to twist the **** off can cause damage to the linkage. It is enough of a concern that Nissan NA put out a Service Procedure Bulletin to do it correctly. See attached.
