stupid question but how do you get the 2 halves of the cannister apart? Does it require alot of force/twist?

Once the clips are undone, it should be a hand twist. Keep a bucket underneath, because a bit of water will spill when the canister is opened.

Make sure that you take the center band ALL THE WAY OFF! At that point, it essentially falls apart.

The two parts of the canister are not screwed together or twisted. They simply fit together by the wrap-around band that has the screw on it to tension the two halves together. If you unscrew the band which releases the tension, the two sections of the canister come out of the band and separate easily. Do not fear, it isn't hard to do.

I do not know how yours works. Ours is a metal band and wing nut holding the two halves together. Shut off the water and empty out the line as best as you can then loosen the wing nut they should then be able to be separated. Hope this helps.

Not too much pressure once the clamp is loose use a butter knife or screw driver to pry the two halves apart.

The top should turn and separate in the middle. I use a straight edge razor and pry the middle open.

There's a safety you need to pivot down(?) while squeezing to remove the pressure. You can see the safety on the bottom in the picture on this item between the lower handle and the point where the two halves meet.

Hi Carol. At the bottom is a small indentation where you put a coin or screwdriver and gently but firmly pry the top and bottom apart. Hope this helps.

It's not easy! I squeeze the prongs that just stick out of the middle of the wheel together while easing the rim of the wheel away from the base trying to keep the pressure even to avoid breaking off one of the prongs. I have broken about half my wheels, but it seems to work just fine with one prong (and actually it becomes easier to take apart then).

Just take the bottom and top half and twist. It can be kind of difficult to open, I still struggle with mine.

There are two clips/buttons to get the two parts from eachother. Somewhat clumsy but it satisfies me :)

It's 2 pieces stuck together. It comes apart very slightly when I pull on both sides. So it looks like you could get them apart but you might break them trying. Good luck!

This is a tough one to explain but I will try. On the handle in the center you use 2 hands and squeeze the middle button, then use both hands to rotate the mechanism forward. The unit will collapse. Hope this helps. I kept doing it over and over until I had it down. It is NOT easy.

I don't know if this is correct, but it's how I did it. After I unscrewed the lid, I secured the can and punctured the top with a screwdriver. Be careful!

Hold the bottom with one hand and the top with the other hand then turn the bottom or the top while holding the other part steady. Turn and pull apart at the same time. You have to pull and turn very hard. That removes the base then unscrew the glass container.

There are two parts to the top. The first (outer) part you twist off. The second (inner) part can be pulled straight up or if it's stuck, use a knife to get under the edge and break the seal.

There was enough spring in the uprights, just pull them apart. Put the cross bar in one end and push on it while pulling on the other upright.

You have to use something like a slotted screwdriver or a large coin to pry it open at one of the side slots, be a bit careful because there's a rubber gasket right between the two halves.

Yes, I have separated the 2 parts. it is more of a pull apart than a twist.

You unscrew the whole top; it will come off in two pieces. Place the blade between the pieces and screw it back together. It is quite easy to do. Hope this helps!

Twist (like you would a jar top) and turn it. It will go down and then secure it by turning it into place.
