Is your pickguard and your strings removed from your guitar?

The volume and tone knobs should just slip off, straight up.

After you pull the knobs up and off (I use a pick, some people use a shoelace to get the knobs off) you need to remove the two Philips screws that hold the 3 or 5 way switch. After that you need to use a 13mm ( I think its 13mm, I have not changed a pickguard in a while) wrench to loosen the nuts on the pots.
