I used one of the felt washers to cushion an adjustable spanner (is that a crescent wrench?), then used it under the knob as instructed.

You are lucky if you escaped without scratching your panel! I use nutdrivers for this kind of thing, and also install a smooth flat washer behind the nut -- or I use a knurled nut rather than a hex nut and tighten it by hand.

If one doesn't have a nutdriver, a normal mechanic's socket (held in the hand, not attached to a ratchet!) works.
