Both of them pull straight off, in line with the shaft, but it's a very tight fit. You may have to put a couple of long screwdriver blades, or channel lock handles behind the knobs, one on either side of the shaft, grip them with both hands, one one either side of the knob, and pull really hard to get 'em off. Or you could rig up something to pry on the back of the knobs. But be careful to not bend the shafts, or break the knobs. But, if you do break them, they're cheap to replace.

I gently gripped the bottom side of the knob with a pliers and gently tapped on the pliers with a hammer. The pliers spread the impact across most of the underside of the knob and I had complete control over how much force I was applying.

Well the new fan install has been fun but I do not want to do this again any time soon. It took longer to take it apart than it did to put it together. If Kubota just made it so we could access 1 bolt from the bottom it would be easy.
