Need advise on tightening a switch. I'm not sure how to take off the knob for the head light switch. Does it screw off like the wiper knob?? I dont want to break the knob.

Thanks

The only special tool used to install the various switches is a wrench with a double pronged head. If you don't have one, use needle-nose pliers instead, but I have seen them on ebay before, and in some of the aftermarket ACVW parts catalogs. Airhead parts sold me mine.
