taking the backing plate off the flex

[k20z3kid]

okay maybe im completely overlooking something and this should be easier than it is lol. i cant quite figure out how to take the backing plate off my flex xc3401. i took the allen screw in the middle out and it still wont come off. i dont wanna pull too hard on it because i dont want to damage nething.

When I took mine off it took some effort but not a lot. Try wiggling from side to side to dislodge the teeth some.

hehe no reason really. i was just reading through the manual and i wanted to make sure i knew how to take it off for when i need it replaced, which probably wont be for awhile.

Yes. To put it frankly.
