Just bought 530, with shure olive on. I tried to take olives out of 530 and have no luck.

How can I do without breaking nozzle? I recalled a passage that I need to put them in the fridge

Please help me, thanks

Use a shirt to grab and twist. I too was really afraid of breaking the nozzle. And when the death-grip of the tip was loosened, it told me so with a loud *SNAP* like a twig breaking.

Some suggest popping them in the fridge (freezer?) for a few minutes as you noted. Don't quote me, but I have a feeling even Shure suggested this, or suggested it wouldn't do any harm...it's a common enough problem with SE530 & there have been quite a few threads on this very issue. That damn lip on the nozzle.

First time I took my olives off I ended up using my teeth. I lightly bit down on the nozzle, just so that the tips of my teeth were in line with the rubber inner tubing, and wiggled my jaw as i pulled them out. Kinda silly but it was effective.

Thanks all yoru inouts.

Problem solved. I put it into fridge for 40 mins, adding little twist and pulls skoll, I managed to get them out like 2 mins.

Yikes, 40 minutes? I'd be afraid of condensation at that point.

Glad you finally managed to get them off though.

Little worried when it was out of fridge, the body of 530 like ice to me

, glad nothing happen

Was it that bad for you guys? I remember not having that much of a issue when I had my pair to get the olives off

Mine were pretty hard to get off too. For about a week I didn't change my tips because I just gave up. Eventually, I mustered up the courage to force them off - it really did take a ton of force too.

Very good metaphor
