Stellaghost Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I'm pretty sure it is a small spring loaded pin, it should just push in and then you can draw it off Regards Stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snagger Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 WD40 might get it if you are lucky. Proper “penetrating oil” is more likely to work. Unfortunately, it might be stuck solid and require the destruction of the plastic knob, which I believe is long since unavailable. You may be able to break the pin free if you use some sort of jawed tool with a pin to push on the embedded pin and a load spreading form to protect the plastic. Don’t go at it with pliers.

FridgeFreezer Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 What they said - it's a spring-loaded brass pin that you need to push in, you may be able to do it by inserting something in the hole and then gripping with pliers to give it a good push - carefully to avoid damaging the knob of course!

Good quality reproduction knobs are available.
