Any help would be greatly appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 | There is a wire clip, C shaped on the shaft under the handle. If you pull out on the handle a little and look under it with a light you can see it. I usually use a long, thin screwdriver to push the clip off. Another option is a tool like this window handle removal tool

On occasion they would wear enough that they'd come off on thier own. Replacement knobs have specialty fasteners to hold them on. If you want to save & reuse the knob (maybe to rechrome the handle) that will be difficult I think. It can probably be done but without seeing the handle up close I can't give you a specific answer as to how. Maybe if you post a good, detailed picture of the handle/knob it will generate some good ideas. Good Luck.

You can get replacement knobs from JC, CD and etc. If yours is a 52 you will need to get the maroon ones to be like orginial.
I did this to mine to have them re-chromed, the repo knobs look as good as the orginials. | | |
