How do you remove the light switch knob?

Found instructions for most of what I need to do (thanks to you folks) but everyone assumes that I know how to get the B%&** knob off the main light switch!

Can't be that difficult - what's the trick?

There is a trick! (I suppose you refer to light switch which is near rearview mirror).

If you are seated in drivers position you must first press to the right and then pull out by left side of the switch, near electric roof switch, and the whole light switch will turn around right side.
