They pull off - however they are very tight normally. Use some cloth under a small screwdriver and try to lever them out. The cloth will hopefully stop any damage.

another tip is to use two thick lolly pop sticks... they should be strong enough to ping the knobs off when placed either side but soft enough not to damage the acetate paper or the knobs themselves :)

Or loop a length of strong cord or fishing line behind them and pull that
