Billet Aluminum Instrument Knob Set Instructions.
1976-1986 CJ – 6 piece set P/n: 11420.XX
Step (1) – Blower Motor, Lights and Wiper Motor Switches.
These knobs are retained to the switch shafts by an integrated locking feature. To remove the knob, find the small slit
on the back of knob. Using a small flat head screwdriver depress metal tab towards handle and remove. (See image
below). With old knob removed slide new aluminum knob onto shaft and tighten allen screw to secure knob to shaft.
Repeat steps for other switch controls.
Step (2) – Vent Adjustment Knobs. (Def. – Heat. – Air.)
Both OE knobs and aftermarket replacement knobs are secured to the adjuster shaft by means of a tight barbed
compression fitment. Removal of older OE knobs should be easier than later replacement knobs due to years of use.
Pull knob cable full out to exposing metal adjustment shaft. With pliers secured to shaft pull knob free from the end of
shaft. Depending on the age and condition of your cable more or less force will be required. (NOTE: the control
cables are held in place by plastic tabs located behind the dash. When removing knobs care must be taken to
avoid damage to these tabs.) In some cases it may require the destruction of the original plastic knob before they can
be removed. By using pliers or channel locks the knobs internal plastic structure can be cracked where attached to the
metal shaft. This will help to loosen the knob from the barbed end of adjuster shaft (See Image Below). When all three
knobs have been removed, install aluminum knobs and tighten allen screws.
When all the knobs have been installed, double check the tightness of aluminum knobs to all shafts. Retighten if not
properly secured.
