I read a post on Pelican where you put a open end wrench underneath it and hit it upwards with a hammer............. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
Is this really the way ? And if so does it wreck the compression fitting or is it reusable ? I bought a NOS leather with Porsche logo knob that I would like to replace it with, just find it hard to believe that you smack up on it to come off then smack down on it to go on ??? |

Coondog - That or some used a piece of wood with a "U" cut out so as to not damage the chrome bottom bit, then hammer it. Otherwise put a clean shop cloth around the open end wrench or adjustible spanner before banging away. The crush washers/sleeves are still available & relatively cheap, so get a couple & hang onto a spare. You sometimes can bend them back into re0usable shape, but they're usually "crushed" as the name implies - beyond reuse. Does your NOS leather knob with the Crest have the chrome or black rim around the cloisonne crest? Post a pic & I can tell you if it's one of the back-in-the-day AMCO ones that the dealers used to sell. The actual 60's 7 early 70's ones would have the red bars in the early red-orange color - rather than deep red for 73 calendar year on.
