I believe you just have to twist it counter clock to losen it.

Don't quote me on it...can't remember 100%.

Yes, it comes right off if you turn it counter-clockwise.

Yes it spins right out. I got a chrome Momo myself. Some seem to like the Momo Combat Evo? The Mesh insert is nice. I got an all-chrome Momo. Of course almost any universal auto shift **** should be fine.

Yeah it should screw right off, but some dealers crazy glue it on so customers don't steal it off the showroom car. lol
