How do you remove these two items without breaking them?

The heater controls are held on with two nuts, accessible from under the dash.

To remove the light switch, push the little button up on top of the switch itself (behind the dash) and pull out on the knob. This will remove the knob and stem. Then just just use a large flat-tip screwdriver to unscrew the bezel retaining nut, remove the bezel, and remove the switch from behind the dash.

there is a aleen head screw in the collar of the knob that has to be loosened to take it off. then you are suppose to use the little two pegged tool to unscrew the wiper keeper with. or you can use whatever tool you can get in there to unscrew the keepr with. thats it it pulls out from the back once that is all removed.
