Trying to remember, I took mine out a few weeks ago for the AT>MT. Im pretty sure it's held on by a little clip on the left side of it, and its white. Pry that out and it will come flying out if I recall. Make sure the button is pushed in though, and watch where it goes! Good luck.

stick a small flat screw driver in next to the od button from the outside and pop it out. Then push the white button peice that left behind in as far as it will go and pry the little white box out of the knob.

I will try to pry the o/d button (the black piece) off from the outside next time im out...but thanx for all your ideas and suggestions and help...

you could just de-pin the plug and pull it through the shaft
