    • Remove all the selector knob covers by pulling them off.

    There’s NO need to remove all of the knobs in Steps 1 & 2…the faceplate lifts off with or without them attached.

    • Using needle nose pliers, remove the washers from the four corner selector knobs.

    Please, don’t use any pliers. Try to find a wrench in order to not damage the nuts nor scratch the panel. Anyway, many thanks for the explanation. Regards.
