280z Dash Light Dimmer/ Trip Reset Knob Removal

[ckurtz2]

Hey guys,

      Feel free to educate me on what these two knobs are actually called, but I can't seem to get them off. I am replacing the dash pad/getting the frame powder coated. The last thing holding me back are these two mechanisms from being removed. Thanks as always

Are you asking how to remove the knobs from the rheostat & trip reset?

Or are you asking how to remove the brackets from the dash frame?

If you are talking about the knobs, this is what I used to remove them in the video: https://www.harborfreight.com/nylon-pry-bar-installer-kit-4-piece-63594.html

You guys rock. Yes, I was talking about the knobs. After watching this i pulled as hard as I could with my body weight and they broke free. Holy cow they were on there good. @SteveJI actually tried one of those tools but unfortunately had no leverage due to my dash pad being off. Next time tho:)
