Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		Is there anyone who knows how the clock knob on the '60-'62 Chrysler clocks is mounted?

Many automotive clocks has the knob screwed onto the stem, but I have tried without any success.

Could it be that there's some type of LocTite or solder fixating the knob?

Location: Branson, MO		My thoughts are that the knob is screwed (threaded) onto the stem. In the old days when these cars were new, a lot of them loosened and fell off if I remember correctly. Yours probably seized on due to moisture and rust I suspect if someone didn't glue it on with something sometime back.

Location: So. Cal		I had a similar problem with a '58 Desoto clock. More force with a pair of vice grips is what eventually solved the problem.
