You turn the knob in the back to loosen it. Righty-tighty lefty loosey. You might need to use a pair of pliers or something if it's stuck tight.

think about 79.99. What do you think ?
From the Rival people! Sounds too good to be true? The number is 1-800-323-9519! I had the same part go out on my girlfriend's slicer. The part number for the idler gear for slicer model 1042 is Part#04XRL10423 It is a mere $3 plus shipping! Granted, I wasn't very happy paying $5.95 shipping, but at $9, it's still much cheaper than buying a new slicer. Hope this helps!
The best thing to do would be to call the manufacturer and give then the item number of your appliance.
