Remove cover (the rubber bit) with a screw driver and then get some mole grips and twist. Easy...

Is it just the top bit (ball on top) that comes off?

So twist and yank, yeah?

 

[JAY172]

yes just the ball part comes off. twist it,yank it,cut it-basically you have to destroy the thing to get it off. new ones just knock back on.

if it is the metal silver one then twist it off with some large grips. put some cloth round it and it can be used again.
