[TenTec] How do you remove the Corsair II Tuning Knob?

[Joe]

It helps if you can see the target set screw. Yes, hold a flashlight so that 
you can see the setscrew through the hole in the knob. Keep holding the 
flashlight and watching the setscrew while putting the allen wrench into the 
slot. Works for me.
