I want to replace the ground balance knob on my Bandido [ first ] with a larger one. I have taken the set screw out of the knob and tried to removed it. I have applied preasure when pulling and also placed a screw driver under the knob to maybe pop it loose, [ Nothing-Zero-No Go ]. Is there a secret way of removing it or is it stuck on for good....Brandy
Not sure what to tell you. Haven't had that problem. Possibly the set screw marked the shaft enough that the knob won't slide over the burr without a lot of pressure. Problem there is you don't want to put enough pressure on the shaft to do damage to the control. Maybe some body will have a better answer. Good luck/

Had another thought about this problem. You might try carefully putting a small drop of WD-40 or penetrating oil in the set screw hole and letting it work for a while. Don't use enough to leak down the shaft into the pot as that could mess things up big time.

Why not crack that nut? Any machine shop in the area has a nut cracker and there is no reason that the knob can't be cracked like any old rusted on nut..cordially Nad
