I believe it's a push fit, I'd suggest pulling it :-)

If it's a K3, it's as simple friction fit with a spring to hold the knob
securely; just pull it off. Be sure to you don't lose the spring insert when
it comes off (it's a flat metal spring shaped like the end of the shaft) and
orient the knob so the flat is aligned with the shaft when replacing
Ron,
Make that 2 setscrews on the K2 knob please.
Same on the K1.

Rule of thumb - first check for setscrews, and if none, it must pull off.
Exceptions:
Caution on knobs with rubber 'tires' - the setscrews are under the
'tire'. And to make matters more confusing, there is a new line of
panel mount potentiometers with integral knobs - neat concept, but the
