If you look on the underside of the brass barrell, you'll see a little grub screw which is holding the pin in place - undo that first, then the pin should unscrew (and the barrell can drop out). Simples! (Assuming you can get the grub screw without turning the head...)

I'll try and take a pic tonight if I remember

That grub screw is secured with threadlock, and it's a right little sod to get out without snapping the necessarily tiny allen key. Heating it before attempting to undo it is essential - I used a turboflame lighter for a couple of minutes - that was enough to soften the threadlock.

Took me ages before I noticed that grub screw the first time, I was cursing something rotten

Hi all,

I took mine out and turned the pin holder to the ickle allen bolt is on the top, so easier to get at in the future! Glad you got it sorted...
