I am having trouble removing the "E" ring. Should I wedge a screwdriver underneath the ring and pop it open?

That's how I take my E ring off and I use the the screw driver to replace it too once I'm done sharpening.

There's a hole in the side that's not for a button, take a screw driver or something and just gap it apart. the rest is just gently applying force until it separates. I haven't found a better way to do it.

Dont need a key... A small screw driver or knife will work. Just pop it in the hole and it will unlatch.

It's really hard! I've found that pushing it sideways with my thumbnail rather than trying to pull it open (the way it LOOKS like it should work!) will get it to pop open easiest. Otherwise, prying it open with a butterknife is the easiest on your hands.

It comes apart quite easily, so you're probably trying to unscrew it at the wrong place. Move your handsaround til you find the correct location!

Dorothy, I had the same problem. Hold the bottom (bigger part) with your left hand and twist the part just above it with your right hand. Failing this, go to YouTube and see how is done there. This is how I managed to open mine. I hope this helps.

I ran into the same problem. With patience, and by turning it gently and carefully, I finally got it to come off. It helps to screw it on carefully, and evenly, however, it was often difficult to remove. I eventually got a different (slightly more expensive) filter and adapter ring. Good luck with it!

Hello M. Person. Unscrew the center clutch assembly all the way and pull up the screw collar. you should have a 2 plastic sleeves, the bottom piece which is about a inch long, should be sitting in the lower stand assembly about 3/4 of the way in. The second top collar which is about a 1/4 inch long should be sitting on top of the other one. If you don't see the top plastic ring check to see if it is lodged up in the screw collar. Try re seating the plastic rings and make sure not to cross thread the screw collar when tightening. Hope this helps.

Stick a Philips head screwdriver into the hole and wiggle it back and forth, it will come out.

You can take one of the screws out completely. Put the metal ring in place by kind of sliding the other 3 screws around the black part. Then put in the 4th screw and that should hold it securely in place.

It's a pain. I struggle every single time I remove it. Basically I get a coin that fits best in the slot on the right lower side. I turn with the coin and pry my fingernail between the seam where the halves meet at the extreme right corner of the case. It will usually pops apart once you've wedged your fingernail between the halves.Maybe someone out there has a better method, if so I'd love to hear it too.

First, it DOES feel like you're going to break it when you try to open it. But here's how you do it... After you twist the metal sleeve to unlock it and slide it off, you then pull the entire black plastic top section (that the metal outer sleeve was covering) off from the clear part. There should have been instructions w/your unit that might explain better than I am here.

It's very difficult to get it out but I used a plias and a hammer and knocked it out, when I placed the attachment in the wrong place. Good luck

Hi, turn to unlock and pull upward on each hinge. might even pry it up with a screw driver between the two parts on the hinge. mine was difficult too, it kinda of pops off when it does come off.

Take a flat blade screw driver and put it in the slot in the lower portion of the front. Twist gently and it should just pop down. Hope this helps.

Hi David, If you can't open the disc tray using the eject button, insert a thin elongated object into the small hole just below the tray. -Anthony
