I feel like Ive asked this before but I cant find it now with search.

How do you get the plastic fingerwheel off this model?  The hole isnt in the usual 9 position, but up around 6.  And when I stick a pin in there it doesnt seem to actually unlatch anything once Ive turned it in the dial.  

Remind me how these suckers work, please!! Thnx


Edit:  please see the pic below that I edited just now.  Had the wrong pic up before!  This one does not come off with a screw

Put your finger in the zero hole and rotate the finger wheel all the way until it won't turn any further. Keeping a slight pressure on the finger wheel (trying to turn it even further past the stop) put a paper clip in the hole trying to push a little tab towards the centre of the dial. When you catch it and move it slightly inwards the finger wheel will rotate a little further releasing it from the dial.
