Oh man, I see you've chewed up the shaft there. Get a small flathead screwdriver. Push DOWN on that black plastic that's around the shaft. All will be obvious once you do that. Just insrt the screwdriver into a gap in the E-clip and then twist till you pop the clip off.
NO MORE!!

If there are a lot of burrs kicked up on that shaft, it might be fun to get that out of there now.

You might need file that down a little if it still won't pull through after removing the e-clip.

Thanks for the help!!  ;D  Actually the shaft was just fine.  The camera made it look bad.  Once the E clip was out, it was smooth as silk.  This control panel has seen better days though.
