[6pack] Removing knobs.

[Bob Danielson]

Ken,
That's how it's done but many times these knobs are "frozen" in place. Use 
an awl to firmly push in the hole while pulling on the knob. Seeing as 
you're replacing them all anyway, you could, as a last resort, cut them off 
with a Dremel. BTW..... the rheostat knob doesn't have the indent to push. 
It's usually a press fit that refuses to be set free!

I know I'm getting a new set of dash knobs for fathers day -- they arrived
today --   and have a couple of questions.

Seems I must insert a small rod in the hole to release the pin holding the 
old
ones on.

I've tried that, but no success.   So I'm wondering if I can insert the rod 
to
depress the pin and then with a large pair of pliers, grab and shake the 
knob
while trying to pull it off?

Recommended?   or any other tricks I might want to try?
