I did mine today, Installed a new one.
After reading all the horror stories of how difficult it is to get them off I was a little curious, how could it be so difficult? It should just slide right off......... Well..........
Mine did not have anything preventing it from coming off, no dirt or buildup but it still would not slide off. I used penetrating oil, grease, pried on it different ways with two screwdivers and still it would not come off.....
I could grab it and slide it out but then it would come to an abrupt stop.
So......... I grabbed a small file, gently filed down the very edge of the shaft with only one or two strokes and It slid right off..... :clap:
I could feel with my finger, A very slight burr on the end of the shaft that was preventing it from coming off.
