Yep, you either unscrew it by lefty loosy, or you hacve to lift the boot up, or pull it down to loosen a tension stud. This will most likely be an allen key
Okay, thank you for your help... I tried to unscrew it and it wont budge so, how do I lift the boot of pull it down... I looked this morning and I didn't see anything that seemed to move.

the boot should be able to slide down off the ball.... it is going to be pretty tight.....
