I have taken the lid off and now I want to remove the silver knob (or whatever it's called). But, I can't seem to push/pull it off. I tried to use pliers but I don't want to get too aggressive. Any suggestions?

Did you ever figure this out? I need to replain that silver knob also... i was thinking of trying to do this without taking the cover off but just taping/covering the surrounding area and delicately air brushing the knob... thoughts?

They are just press fit. Should be very easy to push out from the back.

I repainted it and rewrapped the cover with new leather.

tried to PM SMAK but my PM doesn't seem to be working...

hi - i saw your post about repainting. sorry for my naive questions but,

1) when someone wrote "press fit", does that mean i can just pop out the silver knob (without detaching the how compartment lid)?

2) if the knob just pops out, why can't i just buy a new knob? any idea what the part # is?

3) how did you repaint it? is this something i can do myself (a novice) or do i need to take it to a paint shop?

thanks so much for any help,

mark
