Was about to cut the knob of but thought I would try pulling it again before hand. Anyway, gave it a good twist and pull and managed to get it of! So thats that sorted! Im a MAN :) | |

Mine just twisted off, took a lot of force but as soon as it moves just a little bit, it comes off very easily! | |

I did try heating mine with a hairdryer and also soaking it in hot water but it didn't help. Whacking it in a vice is your best bet if you can't pull it straight off, but getting the clip off (to remove the stick) and also back on again can be a bit tricky. | |

What I did was take the whole stick out, put it in a vice and pull it, it comes straight off. | |
