The knob unscrews. To prevent the shaft from rotating there is a hole through it where you can jam something through like an allen wrench.

Keep in mind that knob could REALLY be a bugger to take off. At first I thought it would require pliers and a new knob IF I could get it off, but eventually it let go after I used my small strap wrench.
