How the heck do you get it off????
« on: 16 April 2012, 18:03:56 »
Hi...

I really can't see how! It's loose but just won't go!!!
It's getting to the point where I'm bending the arm and damaging the end of the cable....
I'll give it another go........ :-\

Ever get over to Brackley?

Failing that, what part of the city of roundabouts are you in?
