Look around on the edge of the knob until you find the little hole. Stick
something like an icepick into this hole until you feel resistance, then
push some more while prying with the pick. The knob should slide off. It
is retained on the shaft by a spring loaded ball. The dimmer knob we were
talking about earlier is retained the same way, but many folks find that it
takes blasting powder to get them off the shaft.
