I ordered mine from bmwpartsman on this forum and got a resonable price and he was GREAT to work with. I tried to order some additional pieces from him, but never heard back, so he may have stopped visiting the forum. Anyway, the wood gear shift replacement is literally a "pull straight up as hard as you can" replacment. I have heard that technicians have truly broken their nose by not being careful and being in the wrong spot, but I was able to just pull mine off with a LOT of pressure. Then you put the new one in place, and POP it down, it takes less than a minute. Regarding the brake....never done it.
