| Mopar Fans,
Now the rest of the story!
I finally got it out with my plasma cutter, just kidding. It was a tussle.
I tried the pushing the button in and turning the collar but no luck. Finally after retracing my steps and I noticed with the button pushed in there was something stopping the collar from turning. As I have the dials out of the dash I was able to reach a finger in back of where the hang up was on the collar. There was a pin on the back side of the collar protruding through the dash sheet metal. Thus the collar would not spin off the nut
Finally I removed the Ash Tray insert and was able to get a grip on the Switch and turned it Counter Clockwise, Back Side Direction. The switch does have two flat sides fitting a 7/16 Open end small wrench. Unscrewing it the switch became lose and tidies to finish. Bottomline is to first remove the ash tray insert, disconnect the two terminals from behind, start turning the switch by holding the collar against the dash panel. This will release the collar nut which resides behind the "Fan Speed Indicator". Be careful not to strip the switch threads when taking it out through the slot in the dash. It should really be screwed out of the slot.
Now , the easy way if your dash is not apart. Just peal of the "Fan Speed Indicator” off the face of the collar and there is the nut on the front side. Just remove the nut and off comes the collar. Thats all there is to it. Label, painted metal, is stuck to the collar by a bead of some sort adhesive like RV sealer?
I used a pick like the dentists use.
Check the pictures below to get a feel for whats involved.
I will probably need a new switch, another call & $$ to Joe. Better save than sorry.
Hope this is helpful.
Good Night
Jim
Gary Wilson hit it right on the head with “pushing in the knob and turning
it to release.”

Some of them screw off counterclockwise

Jim,
Usually there is a “set screw” to remove the bezel/knob with a small
allen wrench.

Fans ,
Here is the baffler I referred to yesterday. I am unable to get the
Blower Knob on the dash off. I noticed a little peg on the inside of the
collar. I tapped it after the collar would not turn. It moved the collar just
a hair and then stopped. I checked the back side for a nut but found non, just
the switch. Pictures attached.
Any help would be helpful as I want to get the dash painted and start
reassembling the interior.
