Hey tuff,
i think by memory mine popped straight off.. you should need to remove all the connectors and stuff cause its just a dial behind the unit.. i will check and post up tonite

thats come up very nice! suits your white dials a treat too!

i dunno how it will stand up to dirty fingers tho...and also greasy and oily hands. might make the ink smudge.

maybe putting a thin piece of plastic over it?

so how did you get the paper behind the knobs? did u get them off or what???

Hmm.....Good point.....

I might even contact the thing

Well the two little knobs came off easily, the actual plastic is stuck down so you have to peel that all off....then just wiggle them around and they should pop over the 2 big knobs....

it looks so much better, but it needs some chrome to match the rings....this looks out of place with black dials:P

Ill give it some contact tomorrow i cbf'd pulling it apart again lol

how bout laminating the paper??? i think that might be the better way.

i really need to know how to get these knobs off because i plan on turning up some aluminium knobs up and polishing them aswell..then also putting an LED globe in each knob to indicate what setting you have selected :D
pretty stupid how mits didnt do that!

go to pick-a-part with a pair of pliers and see
better than stuffing your own knobs up
