If it's like the GTO switch the knob has a stem. It is released by having it in headlight on position while pushing the 1/4" button on the side of the switch behind the dash. To replace just push the new one in.

Remove the clip from the stem and install it in the plastic knob. Then push it on the stem. You're probably not getting the clip in the knob if it's still on the stem.

Got tired of scrapping the my hands fingers trying to press and release the stem from the light switch dimmer just to remove the dash. I drilled a small hole in the knob and put a small set screw ,made from another fine threaded screw shank. Filed a small notch in the stem for screw to sit in. works great and Case closed!

BTW, I bought the Ames replacement knob with stud. Seems that rod is a half inch too short resulting in parking lights stay on with knob pushed in fully!
