Hi Dennis,
No sarcasm on my part... I welcome any fair addition, substraction,
alteration to methods I or anyone of my customers use. There is more than one
way to skin a cat. Dean

Your experiance is not everyones. And once again as I stated: customers have
used this method and some will continue to use this method for removal, and if
so, they should do it with care. This is what has been reported to me and I
firmly believe in listening to my customers.
It's good to know though you can remove it with your hands only. Thanks for the
additional tip I will pass it on to my customers. Dean

Just tried 4 new ones and could remove and replace the knobs with fingers
only. I have not encountered a good new one that required the use of
pliers when knob is being removed or replaced. Knob should be turned
clockwise for removal after compressing spring.
Wonder why pliers are needed since I am sort of weak and old and on
Medicare because of age.
I suspect that the pin could be pulled and the shaft threaded so the old
type knob could be used. The resulting glut of new style knobs could
cause the price to drop to less than one dollar.

Be sure to hold the shaft with pliers that do not have serrated
jaws as, depending on where you hold the shaft, this area if galled, can
enter the plastic cam in the mechanism and bind the assembly when
closing. Try to hold the shaft as close to the knob as possible. This has
repeatedly been a complaint with customers when buying a newer assembly.

The knob on the new assembly is mounted with a spring loaded bayonet

mechanism. Pull the knob out and hold the shaft and then push the knob
in
and turn it and then it will come off.
