PULL!!! PULL REALLY HARD!!


and hope you dont smack yourself in the face when it comes off

Big pair of mole grips and pull it and twist it, its not that hard to do but dont be afraid, it will be destroyed doing it tho

Does the same go for the ph1 knob? And as its metal I'm assuming it can't be ruined?

Pretty much fella.. Wrap a lot of cloth around the base, get some grips on it and yank and twist and it will come off.. I hear heating it up will help a bit, softens the glue..

 

[Rob]

So its just glued on? Hmm.... I'd be a bit wary of not being able to get it glued back on right though.

Hacksaw. Check.
Molegrips. Check.
Brute force and ignorance. Check.

Metal strength adhesive is what they used, same on the Ph2.. Getting it back on shouldn't be a problem, get some 2 part epoxy resin on the bugger.. it will never come off!

I see one floor in the hacksaw method.. The lift up reverse trigger is located directly below the knob! Haha
