Mine were on VERY tight, I ended up using a butterknife to pry the edges away so it would slide. My thumbs hurt, but we were finally able to move the screw caps.

They do slide off. I have was worried myself but they are just tight and you may have to tap the caps to get them back on.

Try prying the top with a screw driver orpry bar. Be careful the plastic edges can be sharp.

It just detaches pretty easily after entirely removing the screw. Give it a few tries in and out and it should come out in no time.

Hold in the two buttons on the side and pull it out. It may take a little strength

I used some pliers. They are very tight. I had to tare off a chunk of it and keep pulling on it until it finally came off. Good luck.

Use the edge of a thin flat head screw driver; you want to be able to replace it as it helps prevent evaporation by not just relying on the plastic screw cap.

Hmmm. It should just close when you do that. Try taking the top off and messing with it to see if it closes that way. If that doesn't work, you might have gotten a defective cap.

I have trouble getting my cap off sometimes too. You need to pull hard on the bottom of the handle.

Remove the round plastic covers with flathead screwdriver and unscrew the 2 screws. It will come off easy

Use a screwdriver to wedge down the side of the cap, and pry it out. The cap has a large flange at the bottom that keeps it secured in the ball. You have to force that flange to get it out. Then shake out the light/battery cage. Pay attention to the orientation of the battery cell, for which side is "+". To get the cap back in will seem impossible. What I use is common silicone spray. You can get it at a hardware store. Spray the cap with the silicone spray and it will be so slippery you will easily be able to squeeze the cap flange back into the ball and seat the cap.

Hello, gently twist the device counter-clockwise. If it doesn't move the retaining screw has been tightened. On the left-hand side there is a rubber cover. Lift up the bottom and you should find a phillips head screw underneath. Back out that screw a couple of turns and the device should twist off.

On my unit the 3 screws that hold the blade will not release. I have tried both directions...thinking they may be reverse thread...still no movement.Tried some penetrant...no luck.Any thoughts

Just pull it with a small pliers. It should come out. It is just clipped not soldered

You need a small flat tip screwdriver, they will just pop out. Just get under cap and push up.

There are screws in the top, sides and the back at the top border. Just take them out and lift the case from the sides. It should come right off. I did it to remove a disc that was jammed.

I think you have to unscrew the silver end cap in addition to removing the screw.

Did you try a magnet to retrieve the screw? If you get it back together, checking the tightness of the screw should be routine.
