Rotary switches

I think i might understand what you're asking Mike. Is it that you want to remove the shaft that the selector knob was attached to ? It's the piece shown in the last little bit of the video ?

Can't tell if that's brass or not. Why don't you check it with a magnet ?

Anyhow ... it looks like the shaft might be held in place with an E clip. Pop the the E clip if there is one ... and then see what you're left with.

Anodized to look like brass, bring out the big gun aka magnet.

Yeah it had that I pulled that off and the shaft is brass the other bit is steel the flower looking thing I found out I have to cut it off the brass with a ocilator comes off pretty good though. At least I know what that clip is called now haha.

Oh yes the snap rings are dreadful of you have snap ring pliers much easier but I used a tiny allen and a tiny star bit on a screw driver.
