I want to replace my 77's (wrong) headlight switch knob with either the original knob (lacking the rod) or a replacement one.
My options are to either pry off the incorrect plastic knob from the triangular rod (using brute force?)... or exchange the knob/rod-assembly in whole from the switch.
Anybody ever tried to force such a knob from its rod? Is it possible? Can that damage the switch? What glue might be able to withstand the pulling-force when switching on the headlights? (All quite unnice things to consider - on the other hand I do have the original knob!)
Or how can the knob/rod most easily be changed? The descriptions in the Shop Manual are not too clear (at least for me) to make it sound like a "straightforward one hour action"...
Who did this before and can help with advice?
Thanks
