  • Spray them with vinegar or CLR. What type of knobs do you have?

    There are a couple of ways that holds them on. With one type the knobs will have some kind of trim piece covering the screws. Many times they are marked with a ‘H’ or a ‘C’. They can normally can be popped off using something sharp such as a utility knife or a pocket knife. Once the trim is removed the screws should be right there staring you in the face.


    The other type has a recessed screw in the side. With these you just remove the screw.


    Below are pictures of both types.
