I have just recently obtained my second 75 TR6.  As I have read the various 
posting the last couple of weeks, I am somewhat embarassed asking the 
following two questions.
 1.  How the heck do you get the various knobs (blower, defrost, heater, etc) 
off of the shafts?  Do you pull them, turn them, or what.  I want to replace 
them with new ones but I just can't seem to get the old ones off. 
 2.  I have Stromberg 175 carbs.  In accord with what I have read, if the 
dashpot oil is proper, you should feel pressure about 1/4 inch from the 
plastic cap entering the screw on.  I bought dashpot oil and added just a 
little (not more than a teaspoon) and still couldnt visually see any peering 
into the shaft.  Anyway, I felt substantial pressure over and inch or so from 
the cap entering the mechanism.  Can anyone give me usable information in 
this regard.....thanks
