Heater Control Knob Removal

Is there a trick to removing the heater control knobs. Don't want to force something to the point of damaging something. Did a search but after 20+ pages with no results, I gave up. Thanks in advance.

I grip just behind the knob on the lever with needle nose vise grips then pry the knob off with a screwdriver. Done a bunch like that, probably 20 and never broke a lever.

Re: Heater Control Knob Removal

Use a screw driver on each side of the lever and evenly pry the know off.
