| Has anyone ever had an issue unscrewing the hazard knob? I have a 1975 Standard. Is it reverse threaded? The black plastic was broken off and I'm left with the metal stub sticking out. Don't want to break it! Thanks |

Thank you. Apparently someone must have over tightened it. I just re staked the base...looks like I may be taking it apart again. I think the force I'll need to apply may separate the halfs |

It shouldn't take much force to get it to unscrew. Perhaps you can get a vice grip on the stem.

Keep in mind they are different sizes. Some are a lil deeper then others.
