I have an alko premium jockey wheel with the nose weight gauge built in. Problem is it is stuck in the fully extended position and turning the handel will not lower the inner tube into the housing. I can see no way of taking it apart and can not remove the
jockey wheel as i can't raise the front of the van high enough. the jockey wheel would need to be fully retracted to do so as it is mounted in the centre of the hitch and not the side.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is looking like i will have to take a hack saw to it. Alko have not been much help as the unit is a few months out of guarantee.
