I have a President Washington CB. The am, lsb, usb knob or button is
hard to turn. Their nothing wrong with the knob. Maybe only the
design. It too round and I can not get a good grip on it. Often I use a
cloth to grip it to turn.

Now, I am thinking about taking off the knob and replacing it with a
chicken head or what ever more narrow knob I would find.

I would like to know if I could simply use a small flat driver and pry
off the knob?

I hope that I do not have to open up the radio.

If you want the knob off and don't care if it is damaged the safest
way to remove it without damaging the shaft is to:

Drill and tap the end of the knob and push the knob off with an added
bolt.
