How to remove ribbon tightening knob epson lq2180? -

I want to replace the ribbon tightening knob. I already unscrewed the two bolts including the small steel plate on the side but still it won t budge. What s seems to be keeping it in place?

Please read the service manual before you go any further. I found one for your printer at: http://www.eserviceinfo.com/downloadsm/9… There is a chapter on the assembly and, disassembly of the printer.
