Try flicking the button a few times while you pull.

Then try to move the shaft in and out slightly while trying to push the botton.

Sometimes they hang up on the wall of the **** shaft and can be hard to get to release.

I don't know if you can buy on locally.

I logged in to the system tonight and I think you may have purchased one today. We showed 4 in stock and 1 sold. If you didn't buy one, we have 3 more available.

I thought that you were supposed to push it all the way in, then push the button in and hold it, then pull the shaft out.
