Good Day, this is John the Hayward tech. When this happens you will need to cut the shaft directly below the knob with a hack saw. There will be enough threads left (you may need to unthread the shaft a little). Buy a new knob kit. I have included a link to the manual. http://www.hayward-pool.com/pdf/manuals/StarClearPlus.pdf
