I think I can say that I have worked on a fair few Weinmann side-pulls, stripping and rebuilding them, but they're all earlier ones with a nut at the front and a "Weinmann" marked washer underneath.
What I am trying to work on now is another pair of black 500s, with quick-release lever at the housing side. Instead of a nut it has the black plastic knurled cylinder instead with a thin hexagonal pin in the middle. I cannnot figure out how to strip it down. Any advice?

Richard,
The knurled plastics cylinder at the front just turns around, held down by the fastener which holds the whole thing together; I think it is some sort of a nut turned by the thin hexagonal shaft in the middle. A design which prevents them being messed with by those who do not know what they are doing, but also prevents those who know what they are doing to service them.
