phillip ridley Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 hello everyone im removing the dash switches off my mk3 spitty how do you remove the handles (nobs) without breaking them thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon burrows Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 If they're like the ones on the Vitesse II somewhere around the circumference you should find a small hole. Pushing a small screwdriver in there depresses a clip on the shaft. In the case of the choke and heat control I think it's a case of removing the cables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMitch82 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 they arent really small grub screws are they? think it was a 1/32 allen key on the heater controls (at least on a gt6) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velocita Rosso Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 They do have the push in mechanism that allows the knob to pull off a hexagonal shaftTry getting some penetrating fluid on to the shaft,and soak for a whileBeing patient saves money.............and in some cases,save hard work in trying to find new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martynfh Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 HiI removed mine the other week, Jon is correct my mk 3 spit has the pins as well. Took a while for mine to come out. Lots of wd40 leave for while (left mine day or so) and using a small screwdriver that fits the hole tap it (you may need to get progressively harder). One of mine was araldited in. I had to cut it off. If you need to cut it off make sure you do it on the outsidenof the hole so you dont destroy the shaft of the switch.Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
