Ok, I am trying to remove the Joystick from my CP. The problem is that the "knob" is too big to fit through the hole (That's what she said). So I am now trying to take apart the joystick, but can't get the actual stick to come out. It does look a bit rusty. Tried WD40 to help, but no luck.
The "knob" does not screw off. Any suggestions???

Says it is a WICO Corp. It is on my Aliens CP.

Well, this has been covered several times I'm sure.....

The metal bushing inside the rubber grommet is probably rusted to the shaft.
Keep working at it.

It looks like the shaft has rusted to the metal ring in the rubber grommet.

Try some Kroil or PB Blaster to work on the rust, you also will probably want to replace the grommet they dry out over time.

What panel is that by the way?
