Removing storage cap on MW102

[FrankCazabon]

I've got a used MW102pH meter with the protective storage cap on. I'm not sure how to remove it. Does it twist off? Just pull it off? Something else?

I'm not getting any movement when I try to pull or twist and I'm afraid of breaking it.

The top screws off but it is held captive by an o-ring

Thanks, I got the following from Milwaukee instruments support:

grasp the clear part of the soaker bottle firmly with one hand. Next, with the other hand, twist the black cap, lefty loosey, like a soda bottle cap. This will relieve the pressure that holds the cap in place. Once the pressure is loose, and the cap is also loose, grab the end of the probe, while still holding on to the clear part of the soaker bottle, and pull out of the probe from the soaker bottle.

It's a compression fitting. You don't need to take the black cap/nut off the storage tube but you just loosen it and the probe slips out of it.
