[6pack] Removing knobs.

[John Mitchell]

I encountered the same thing.  The problem seemed to be that the hole in 
the knob was not large enough to allow the ball(or pin) on the shaft to 
enter it sufficiently.  I opened mine up just slightly with the 
appropriate size drill.  Once opened up, the knobs stay on fine.  John
