ME!!! ;D
okay I did a really stupid thing.. And i knew how dumb it was only after the instant i did it..

I mounted up my new SNK LS-30 to my control panel ,and popped back on the cap,
BUT i didnt leave enough space under the head of the knob to get the removal tool in..
hell theres only about a 16th to a 32nd of space :-\

Am i going to have to cut my control panel to pieces to free this thing?
any helpfull tips from someone who has perhaps done the same?

Man, no one has replied yet? I don't know anything about these, but www.oscarcontrols.com has info on how to remove the handles, maybe you could create a smaller tool that would work? There's got to be a way without hacking your CP.  Or, you could hack off the plastic handles and get replacements.  :-[

The same thing happened to me.  I managed to get it off, but not without leaving some scratches on the yellow knob (which I now regret).  I know that one of the 2 "legs" on the yellow cap ended up broken.  I think that I might have used little screwdrivers and dug the cap out from the top.  It was NOT an elegant solution.

Lilwolf:

look at wires for sure.  

And routers ARE your friends  ;)
