Remove the Quick Disconnect male pin. Then remove the big nut in the left (13).
Pull from the right knob a little (29), until the lever (19) is free to be lifted and removed.
Continue pulling the right knob until the whole barrel comes out.
The wedge (20) will come loose, so you can remove it and then the whole knob assembly (29 and other parts) will be free to be unscrewed.

Taking into account the possibility of the adjustment knob being jammed in the full open position, the (20) wedge might not come loose easily. With the barrel removed, it will hopefully have a square section on the inlet side allowing use of wrench to secure the barrel while turning the knob in enough to free it and allow removal of the wedge.
Important to understand and be comfortable with the reassembly process required at that point before proceeding.

Thanks for helping me with this. I am going to try to do it so i do not have to mess with the settings again, i just want to get the knob free. so after i pull the barrel out, I need to take the wedge out and the plastic knob will be able to come out? I was thinking of using some sort of tool to rotate the plastic screw that the plastic knob goes to just loosen it up.
Speaking of OR Nira masks....'what is supposed' to happen when you slide the red/predive - green/dive slider? I've been using the mask on a very shallow dive and nothing happens when i slide it back/forth? Very familiar with OTS/AGA....first experience with these (older, very older) OceanReef Neptune II Nira masks.
thanks
thanks
