Once the knob is off, you also have to unscrew the ring screw that holds it in the dash.
One the knob is off, you'll see the ring with two holes in it. There are special pliers that you can use to unscrew it. I just searched around my tools to find something that would work, and used a set of snap-ring pliers. Put the prongs into the holes, and unscrewed it.
If yours is not too tight, you could try using just about anything that will fit in the holes. A couple of nails, for example, would work if it's not too tight.
Mine was not very tight. Others have reported that theirs are screwed on REALLY tight. So you may either need a good tool, or some luck.
I don't think taking the lower kneebar off would help much. You still would need to take the knob out and drop it down, from what I saw. It would be hard to replace those wires with the switch still in place, kneebar or not.
