Nick Jones Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Dip the knob in warm/hot water, wiggle wiggle tug tug - maybe WD40. Apply the force to the base of the knob so as not to snap the "ears" off.Good luck!Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin M Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 success, heat until the knob got soft. Then levered wirth a screwdriver at the base of the knob. There are now some marks, but who knows that.I think some spare should be obtained, just in case.Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsbody47uk Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Next time you do it don't use a pointed instrument to depress the internal knob. Try to find something the correct diameter for the hole (small nail head is what I use) . I've found that pointy things slide off the internal knob and don't depress it. Cheers, Dave.

Martin M Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Hi Dave,unintentionally I did so.As I had not enought hands, I took a M3 screw, pressed it in the hole and fixed it with a cable tie.Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
