Expert Reply:

The cap and roller are held onto the shaft by a pal nut. The best way to remove the pal nut is to grab it with a pair of pliers and rock it back and forth until the pal nut deforms enough to pull off the end of the shaft. A pal nut is a one-time use product.

The # YR220-4 Endcap is designed for a roller using a 1/2 inch shaft. Replacement 1/2 inch pal nuts are available as part # CE10800.
