A cutting blade is useful in removing those silver colored metal rings. Gently
press the cutting edge into the place where the ring meets the black flange at
the back of the knob. Rotate the knob a bit while pressing with the blade and
the ring will come off easily. That will indeed expose the 0.050 inch Allen set
screw that holds the knob to the shaft.
