just the knob, so you've got to grab it round the knobby bit and yank it

are you going to reuse it?
if not, cut it off with a blade, don't use a hacksaw unles you want to find bits of knob everywehre for the following 3 weeks

almost forgot, cut the top of the knob off and work your way down, then you'll hit the plastic bit that holds it in place, thats the thing you want to remove

I didn't want to cut my knob off -so i just gave it a bloody good hard yank, it took a couple of different positions but in the end it shot off, nearly hit the ceiling too
Cheers guys
