Default shift knob installation (am i doing it right?)

The more research I do, I get the idea that its not that hard of an installation. So the way I see it :

step 1: pop open the center console, this can be easily done by using only your hand by pushing and pulling.
step 2: wrap a towel around the shaft and clamp down on it with a vice grip.
step 3: let someone hold onto the vice grip.
step 4: use a strap wrench and strap it to the oem shift knob and while holding down the shaft with the vice grip, turn the oem shift knob counter clockwise to remove (much force may require).
step 5: hold down the shaft with vice grip, and put the new shift knob and turn it clockwise.
step 6: put back the center console.

Am I doing this right or am i way off?

thanks guys =)
