I have been trying for 2 hours to pry off the orange cap (pliers, other tools) on one of my posts, with no luck. Help!!

There should be a cap about the same diameter as the actual leg of the stool and then there will be another cap inside of that which is not supposed to be removed. It is part of the apparatus that lifts and lowers the seat.

You have to remove the orange cap. It will work great then. Remove orange cap then put together. It comes off pretty hard, but it must be removed to work. Hope this helps.

We contacted Rust O Leum too and we didn't get a response. I have no idea to remove it, wish I could be of help. We are very disappointed with the product!

You just give the black cap a light twist and a tug and it should come off, sometimes it can get a little stuck on there, so you just gotta tug a little harder, it is pretty hard to hurt the tube so you don't have to worry bout that.

Pick an edge and pry it slowly off...it kinda hurts fingers a bit..better tight than loose..good luck.

Yes, must be stuck. Try some "Liquid Wrench" or "WD-40." They must have put the rivet in too tight.

I used a pair of pliers. Came out pretty easily. Pull, but don't jerk or yank and it should give way.

I first tried with some pliers. But they were scratching everything up. I then just used my thumb to sort of push in the catch just for one of the four points and then I pulled pretty hard. That finally popped that part out and no damage done. Did it for the other three attach points and nothing damaged. The plastic is more resilient than you would think.

The tip is removable. Maybe uses standard tips. Try calling the manufacturer.

If you don't have any GooGone on hand, try lamp oil or lighter fluid. Will come right off!

This was an issue for me as well. You have to twist then pull apart. It is quite hard at times.

Get something sharp to peel it off at the edge or just use your nail. That's all you could really do.

You see the arrow on the top? At the opposite end of the point on the side there should be a small gap. You push that up. You might need a pocket knife to do this.Then use the pocket knife to pry the rest of the red cap off. Be careful not to cut yourself.

I had the exact same problem! I finally just pulled the handle straight out with pretty strong force and it came out. Good luck.

Yeah, it can be a bit stiff to unscrew, therefore making it less obvious. The tailcap is only the last few millimeters, so grip only that part. I needed a pliers with a towel around them (to prevent toolmarks) when my batteries *finally* died. I also had a little trouble figuring out where exactly to unscrew, so you're not alone.

I had the same problem. If you can't remove it by pulling it as hard as you can. Return the control.If you try to pry it off the control will become damaged. The problem is the clip holding the knob on the stem istoo tight, the hole on the knob needs to be a hair larger

Take off the plastic pieces on top all of them and the tool will just screw on the top and come off. If this don't help you let me know I will send you a video of me taking mine apart.
