Thanks all. I am concerned that too much force, either tension or torsion, may break the 20-year old plastic. But I shall give it a try. Looks like it should pull off (from the picture on the other thread).
By the way, I am using Leatherique (Sp?) on my seats and console. It has taken multiple applications, but it beginning to soften the cardboard-like leather. More to come. Thank you.

Some just pop off and some actually screw off.
They're not all the same. Go figure! |

James -- This thread has a picture of the (pronged?) switch stalk that fits (with a slight interference) into the black dish knob:

If these toggles are the same as on the early 308's (lucas brand) then you just tug gently on the black plastic portion, and it will slide off the metal shaft.
I drove a 84 BBi couple weeks ago, but I didn't pay much attention to the toggles, I was too busy grinning out the windshield... :-) |

I am trying to clean and treat the leather of the center console on the 83 BB512i. I would like to remove the entire center console to work on it. There are several toggle switches with black plastic (dish-like) levers. I can loosen the thin retaining nut, but the black plastic lever will not fit through the hole. How does one remove these switches from the leather console? Any ideas? Thanks.
