How to properly remove Hazard switch (pull-type)

[BadDog]

Does anybody know the proper way to remove/disassemble the pull-knob type hazard/4-way flasher switch on my '73? I broke the last one trying to get it out when trying to install a full-face dash cover (that didn't even fir correctly). Now I have a replacement, but I don't know the correct way to remove the knob without braking it so I can install the switch behind the dash, then attach the knob in front.... anybody? anybody? :-D

DISREGARD - I finally figured out that there's a spring clip in the knob itself. Push in about 1/8" and turn counterclockwise a quarter-turn and it pops off. Too had Haynes, Chilton's and Humble didn't have a not about that one, I wouldn't have broken it in the first place ;-)

push it knob in all the way and then some more and turn a quarter turn counterclockwise an it will just pop off, i just had to do this last week and had a hella of time trying to figure it out.

i finally removed the little plate that say hazard and saw how it came apart.

thanks BadDog I couldn't figure out that switch for the life of me. After I read your post I had the knob off in less than thirty seconds!

I'm just glad another (rare) Hazard pull-knob has been saved from the same fate as my car's original pull-knob ;-)
