Can't get Santa Cruz grease gun off

[Chingy182]

Hi guys

 

I have a serious issue here where I bought a new grease gun for my Santa.

I gave it some grease with the gun and now it's stuck to my bike.

 

I've tried everything just short of breaking the whole thing.

 

Any advise on how to get it out?

 

Unfortunately cannot load pics as file size is too large

Mine came off with use of force. I took the risk... probably better to take it to the lbs

Watched a YouTube video...

 

Tilt and twist. Came off easy.

 

Just another day being a complete noob

I also had a similar issue but as said above, if you get into the correct angle and tilt it, it slips off pretty effortlessly. Best to check a youtube vid.

If you are in serious doubt then check if the grease nipple can be loosened and remove it with correct spanner

@Chingy182: Mind sharing what greasegun you bought and where from? I'm thinking I should also get one sometime.

I bought and imported it from www.bikediscount.de 

Ordered a few things with the help of a friend.

The grease gun and grease tube came as a combo and was still cheaper than anywhere locally.

It took about a month and we got all our stuff delivered.
