You're best bet is to go to YouTube and look up 'how to remove jeep jk 4wd knob'... there's a bunch of different methods.. YMMV...

Good luck!!

Your'e going to have to literally pull it off. Be careful you dont punch yourself in the face when doing so lol
A lot of people have had luck with wrapping a cloth/towel under the knob and pulling it off that way

Use a crescent wrench...

Fit it to the shaft just under the knob then smack the wrench with a hammer.

Short of a slide hammer, best method I've found so far.

Good luck.
