The spring - even when brand new - is very, very tight. You really need to clean out any dirt from each side, then use something sturdy like a flat-edged screwdriver to push on the wing of the spring and dislocate it from the metal button it's hooked onto. Wear some protective worker's gloves so you don't hurt yourself as you push on the green spring. Sounds like the previous owner never took apart the Vibra-Groomer to clean inside the end caps. The brush roll could seize up if a long thread got wound up on one of the ends. When opening the ends of the Vibra Groomer, be careful not to lose any of the little metal necklaces that goes around the central axel.
Hope this helps! |
