Chris, The light/wiper knobs on the late dash 1600 can be a bit tricky to remove after 30 years+ of being pulled & pushed a few thousand or more times - the spring loaded keyway in the knob wears a bit so the knob wont remove in the "in" position. I've found the easy way to remove them is to pull the knob out far enough so that you can secure the shaft with a pair of pliers and then push the knob in slightly against the spring, but don't let the shaft go back in or twist, and turn the knob counter-clockwise about 90 degrees. You will feel it release and them you can pull it straight out.
The same method is good to re-install them but you turn the knob clockwise. regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Chris Dorgan Sent: Saturday, 17 August 2002 9:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Help!
