Just had a look at mine. Got it replaced on Friday and can see the dirt on it already.

I didn't take it off, but on the side facing the tyre near the black knob, there appears to be a pin. I have a funny feeling that the purpose of the pin is to allow the black knob to be pulled off.

Anyone got a seized adjuster that they want to try this on?

I do  :yes: Does it look like the pin will come out easily?

I think you have to push the pin fully in as its flush with the casing

Then it should be a case of wriggling the knob free (I think)

I had a look at that pin and its tiny.. Im not going to risk trying to push it in, so resorted to the WD40 idea.



Going to leave it like that for a few days, and hopefully it will cure it.  :yes:

I might give it a go with the pin this weekend
