Step1: Before removing factory plastic control knobs mask off sides of knobs and outer console edges as shown (pic.1). use a minimum of three layers of masking tape to insure that console surfaces are not damaged during removal of knobs.

Step2: Slide two flathead screwdrivers between plastic control knob and masking tape as shown (pic.2). Pull both flathead screwdrivers away from dash. If needed some leverage can be applied to side of console. Make sure that masking tape has been applied to edge of console before applying leverage to avoid damage.
