Heater Temp Dash Control Knob

[roy666]

Hi All - HNY. Can someone tell me how to get to the back of the Dash Heater Rotary Control Knob? Every time I try and push the control knob back on its black spigot, the spigot pushes into the dash face and almost disappears.. I can grip it with a pair of pliers and pull it back out. Actually, the spigot (black rod bit) is very stiff... and i believe this operates a connecting rod which shuts the air flaps to reduce the heat to the cabin. All the way off operates the micro-switch which closes the vacum valve to shut of the coolant from the engine... have i got that right? I have the storage tray off and I'm now an expert at the 'Lotus position'!! I'm just trying to put the whole back together. Any pointers would be really useful. Thanks
