    Hello,
    first I'd like to say thanks for alll help got from you guys, The community, in my last post!
    A Million Thank Yous:D!
    I just purchased another Climate Knob from AJT designs. I know this is a popular upgrade for many of you ! I was wondering if any of Y'all had a hack for removing that stubborn inner round clip inside the OG factory knob? I did it before, and wound up destroying the OEm one to get it out!

    I was hoping someone has figured out an easier way of removing it! if not I guess ill just try remove it with out mangling it the OG knob or hurting myself! Thanks in Advance!:confused::rofl::D

    I just did this mod a couple of weeks ago. I used a small flathead screwdriver and pried up in the small holes that are just below the surface, and off center of the notch. Work one hole a bit, then work the other, back and forth. They come out pretty quick.

    EDIT: There is a video online that's pretty helpful. I can't remember if it's on their site or YouTube. I think it was their website.

    A small flat head screwdriver worked for me also. On a side note i did kinda notice when i was cleaning my stove the other day I pulled the knobs off and the clips looked just like the climate knobs . Maybe you can by a stove knob and harvest the clip from there

    I used these mini pliers. Easy peasy. There's enough to grab and they came right out.
