Removal of tilt stopper knob on a 3.5A - ??

Our 3.5A has a tilt stopper (a metal rod that holds the engine in the tilted position)
that was bent (not sure how it happened). It has a knob that does not seem
to come off! The Factory Service Manual does not show any tilt stopper.
Do I have to cut the metal rod? And, would a new knob lock in place??
 
IIRC, the knob is a press fit. See items 20 and 21 in the diagram below. Usually, the plastic knob gets damaged when pulling it off, but you may get lucky. YMMV.
