If you have the new knobs, they can be installed.  To remove the old knobs, 
crush them in a bench vice to pulverize the plastic for removal.  To 
install the new knobs, just attach them in place with two part structural 
epoxy (aka "J B Weld"), available for a few dollars from any discount auto 
parts shop.
