How do I get a wind-up doorbell off the door. The dome conceals the screws that attach it to the door, how do I get the dome off - it just keeps spinning?

I can't even find how to install, which would probably show me how to get it off?

Try pulling the dome firmly away from the door while turning the dome anti-clockwise.
If that fails and the bell is going to be scrapped anyway, lever the dome off with a couple of large screwdrivers under the dome edge.

I agree with Alec_1, ( as I posted in your other thread on this topic )
I would think that turning the dome in the opposite direction to the winding direction would unscrew the dome from the shaft.

Thanks for the replies. I did that and I think I must have broken it as it's just spinning freely now in both directions. I think my only option is to prize the bell off and hope that I can replace what I've broken?
