According to the parts catalog it comes as one complete assembly so no exploded parts diagram to be found.
However I have a vague recollection that the centre cap pops out of the knob and there's a large spring-steel lock-washer in there that you have to turn so the slots line up and then the knob comes off?
I just hope I'm thinking of the right seats, I may be remembering Commodore seats (or any one of a hundred other makes/models)!

I think you are correct Andrew the centre of the knob clips out.

I wonder what the clear caps are for?
Do they come with LEDs in them?

Andrew is correct that black or chrome cap just pops out to get to the round springloaded clip. I have just pulled mine apart to get seats recovered .Dale

took a bit of force to get the centre piece out and made some horrible noises
but once out could rotate the clip and plastic knob came off
