I used a T15 drill bit adaptation.

But I can't get the height adjuster knob to come off.

I've taken the cap of and unscrewed the internal screw, but it still won't come off.

Help!

How do you unscrew the bits. Which tool do I need. They seem like their nuts rather than screws.
Many thanks

I just unscrewed the 4 screws at each corner of the top casing and pulled it up. You can then remove bar/spring/deflector plate. Mine has just broken after 25 years. Cheapest new plate I've found is from greenstripe £13 plus 5 p&p.
