Board Moderator & Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 13054 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?

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. b5rt Posted 2017-03-16 4:41 PM (#536069 - in reply to #536064) Subject: Re: Clock knob removal?

More force with a pair of vice grips is what eventually solved the problem. http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=60273&... wizard Posted 2017-03-17 2:16 AM (#536095 - in reply to #536064) Subject: Re: Clock knob removal?
