Don't forget the little slider on the handle. Lifting the handle on its

without the cover dropping off). What you do is slide the little slider
on the handle along (it will only move one way), and while holding it in
that position, lift the handle. That will pull the hub off the magnet and
let you remove the pack.

Also, the seller tells me he can't get the
pack out:

The pack is held onto the spindle with a fairly strong magnet. As long
as the heads aren't extended into the pack (which would be very bad
anyhow), he should be able to just pull harder and get the pack to
release. When I first removed an RL02 pack, it required more force
than I was expecting.
