Reach into the hole with a small flat head screw driver and pull the plastic tab out. The knob will now come off. Here is a service manual. Be very careful with oil around the timer; if it gets on the contacts you will not be happy. http://www.servicematters.com/m...ibrary/docs/16023083.pdf

I figure if I can't oil it I will need to replace it soon anyway, so it is worth a try!! I really appreciate your warning also. Al
