I thought the same thing when I first tried unscrewing mine. You can pillage an enemy once, but a customer is an endless resource.

Was not realy worried about the knob itself...it was the torque being transmitted to the shaft and breaking it that concerned me. 1996 Contour GL Sport, Zetec, MTX 1995 Contour GL, Zetec, MTX

Thanks for the help. 1996 Contour GL Sport, Zetec, MTX 1995 Contour GL, Zetec, MTX
