It was really hard to turn for most of the unscrewing.. that thing is on there super tight sometimes. It was a pain in the arse.

While kenchan's idea would probably work, liquid's suggestion of a pipe wrench will work. Use channel lock on the shaft, wrap the knob (I used a towel) and get a plumbers style pipe wrench for the knob. It comes right off, with no damage to the stock knob.
