They just pull straight out, but they're hard to remove. Use a loop of strong
cord, centered around the shaft behind the knob with a loop coming out each
side. Twist the loop on each side so that you have, from L to R, a finger loop,
a twisted section, a center loop around the shaft, a twisted section, and a
second finger loop.
Now put a couple of fingers from each hand thru each loop and pull straight
out. If the knob breaks off the shaft, you can fix it with super glue.
