Just doing a quick strip and rebuild on a super panther. Has anybody taken these front cut adjusters apart in the past?

Qualcast adjuster

I wonder if the nylon bush at the bottom is a push fit? Or does the ally head come off. Any ideas anyone?

All the components of the adjuster are shown with separate part numbers, alloy knob, threaded shaft, nut and the plastic thingy.From memory the end of the shaft is splined and press fitted into the plastic thing. Possibly the same at the knob end.I can’t find an illustration but I think that it’s possible that the nut should be restrained by being fitted into the pocket above where it is now. I bit of guess work there so see how it looks in practice.
