Removing Proxxon MF70 handwheels?!

[Dongle]

OK, I'm either being seriously dense here, or I dunno what, but I cant for the life of me get the handwheels off this MF70?! Short of taking an angle grinder to them, is there anything I'm missing? no hidden pins or anything that would be revealed if I had xray vision or anything?

Cheers

You have to undo the nut at the other end of the lead screw (underneath the plastic cover), pull the complete leadscrew out (or rather unscrew it), then remove the plastic cover over the handwheel. You should find a rolled pin which attaches the aluminium handwheel to the leadscrew - knock the pin out and the handwheel will come off.

thanks for the replies guys, pulleys are now off, or at least they were, they are back on again now as the steppers I had were not really suitable, so trying to locate some more, on the cheap!
