Once you can grab the head, a counter clockwise twist usually brings them out. Beer and patience works well here. The data plate may or may not be glued on, which is another obstacle to getting it off without destroying it. It is aluminum, and can be rolled flat again, and the black paint that you scratched while doing any of the above can be touched up with a black indelible sharpie marker. Good luck! |
cam off nicely using the chisel to gently lift up.
