Make sure the adjuster [B screw] sits on top of the hanger & isn't trapped

i still cant remove the dropper , help!!! i can email a picture if anyone can help...?
below is the response i got from spokecycles which i have tried to remove but cant see how... thanks
i have tried to remove the silver bolt witj a 5mm but it doesnt release...

* response - Ah, I see what has happened.

Your orange has replaceable dropouts- this is the big black thing that you've just removed with 2 bolts, and the mech itself is attatched to this.

"there's a silver bolt on your rear mech that takes a 5mm allen key. You need to undo this- it'll seperate the bit from your frame and the mech itself. You can then use this bolt to mount it to your new frame.

On this picture, the bolt is the big one directly above the "X" in XT. This is what you need to undo.*
