Randy;
I really don't have the radio in fron of me, I'm eating
lunch
at work. I seem to remember there being two screws per
knob.
Did you take them both out?
Otherwise try a couple of tricks. Tap the knob inward
with a
small hammer, or heat the knob with a hair dryer to force
it to
expand a little. I had to remove the small one to correct
it
being out of balance.
