Dash **** Removal

I searched this but couldn't find anything in the site?

Is there a trick to removing the dash ***** for the controls? Lights, Flashers, wipers? I don't want to break anything. It seems they should just pull off but don't want to budge?

Headlight switch has a release and the whole **** and shaft come out. The rest have a small allen set screw that hold them on

Yeah, once I got my head out of my **** and under the dash I saw the allens. I was going to ask about the light switch when I came back to report this Thanks for info, Todd.

I couldn't feel the allens when I ran my fingers around them before
