Does the pull knob unscrew on a heat stove lever? I’d like to pull this apart but I don’t want to ruin the knob if it doesn’t unscrew. [attachment=78349]IMG_0775.jpeg[/attachment]

I believe that the pin is just braded ( peened) over. Has a spring inside, just soak in penetrating oil to try to free up.

Steeltracs is correct. They are peened over on the end. I have had to make a new knob and pin for them before.

Thank you. That saved me a lot of time and possibly ruing the knob. I’ll let it soak for a while
