Re: Headlight knob removal?

there is a little pus button on the top or side of the switch behind the dash. push the knob all the way in then push the button and it will pull out

Re: Headlight knob removal?

you have to look behind the dash where the switch is, pull the switch out as you were turning headlights on then there will be a small button usually on right side that you have to push and hold then pull the knob out and your done not hard at all.

Re: Headlight knob removal?

Are you wanting to remove the knob and shaft from the switch or just the knob from the shaft?

Re: Headlight knob removal?

once you remove the knob and shaft you can work the knob off the shaft
