The trick is to pop the little tab up in the hole immediately to the right of the white roller. I, too, couldn't figure out what was holding the wheel down. As it turns out, it has nothing to do with the wheel: there is a number of tabs that poke through the holes along the length of the aluminum piece which hold the pizza wheels in place. If you look to the immediate right of the white roller, you'll notice that particular tab is pushed through the whole and out of place. It's a little hard to describe, but if you look, you'll probably see what I'm talking about. In order to get the tab popped back up through the whole and latched as it should be, I had to use the thin metal tip of a mechanical pencil. You need to get behind the tab and pull it clear so that it can pop back up through the hole. I know I'm not explaining this very well, but... At any rate, once you pop the tab back through the whole, you should be able to latch it again. I suggest that people NOT do this mod, as it actually torques the pizza wheel assembly a little bit, not to mention that it actually forces the last 2 or 3 wheels (closet to the white roller) down. So although it lifts the majority of the pizza wheels out of the way, it doesn't lift them all out of the way. There's an easier way to accomplish the same thing which allows itself to be undone more easily: simply prop the aluminum bar up by putting something of the appropriate size under the edge of the bar next to the white roller. I used a small piece of rubber pencil eraser cut to an appropriate thickness. Works like a charm, and is easy to remove! Now I have pizza wheel free prints, and such a simple solution.
