Randy;
I really don't have the radio in fron of me, I'm eating 
lunch 
at work.  I seem to remember there being two screws per 
knob.
Did you take them both out?
Otherwise try a couple of tricks.  Tap the knob inward 
with a
small hammer, or heat the knob with a hair dryer to force 
it to
expand a little.  I had to remove the small one to correct 
it
being out of balance.
