Continuum Scrapers: How to Remove Old Blade?

[JoeinLA]

OK, I've watched the two videos on youtoob that I could find and they both make it look stupidly easy.

I can't get the things out. I've tried pressing down on the tab thing in the middle of the housing, i've tried prying the tab down, under, and through the housing, I've tried yanking the blade out. No luck.

I'm hoping I'm just missing some really obviously step...?

Thanks!

You may need to soak in a 50/50 water/vinegar mix for a bit. Sometimes salt will build up and "lock" it up. I have had this happen before with mine.

They are a little tough to remove even when new.
I keep a pair of plyers around just for them.
