Squirt it with WD40, then twist. But seriously, loosen the screw that holds it on. You may need a ninety degree driver.

My error - just looked at mine, and the knob is threaded into the bracket with a locking nut in between. If yours is glued on or something, perhaps it was broken off and repaired.

I just replaced mine on my Thruxton. Used a small pliers and gripped the nut. There is some blue locktite on there. Just put some couter torque on the bracket so you don't bend it.
