[6pack] Removing Rheostat

[Bob Danielson]

They're just a pressure fit, no release pin and very difficult to get off
without breaking them. If you remove the dash you might be able to pry it
off from the back i.e. instead of removing the knob from the rheostat, try
to pry the rheostat out of the knob from the backside of the dash.

Dumb Question I'm sure, but how do I remove the dash light Rheostat?
Mine
has stopped working a bit more than 1/2 way, and dim is now dark.

The manual /guide says pull the knob off - tried, but didn't want to come.
is
there a pin holding it?  Where?   any tricks I should know?  Can I reach up
to
it from pass. side, ir is it easier to remove the glove box and go over that
way?


Thanks
