I've just had the same problem........

The other lunchtime, I was pulling on my knob really hard for ages but I had to give up in the end cause it wouldn't budge, and I was getting funny looks from people at work.

Let me know if you figure it out.

It should just pull off...well it did with mine :?

Just give it a twist then a pull or both at the same time, mine was stuck on with what looked like abit of adhevsive so u'll need something to secure it if your putting back on decent double sided tape does the job :D

Its just pressure fit with a locking compound, like thread lock... as someones already said, twist and pull to remove, on refitting use a similar compound and not super glue ! lol
