yes it's important not to put sideways force on it. when I was
describing a way to use your thumb as leverage, I didn't mean to imply
that sideways force should be added. it should be upwards. 

however, I should say that you might have gotten lucky with the knob you
pulled off. that is, they're not all as easy to pull as you describe.
some of them are on there *very* tightly.
