That is what I have followed and it says

Unbolt the 17mm bolt holding the mechanism to the lower pivot.
Lift off the mechanism paying attention to the latch towards the rear.

I have done this but it still don't want to move

Have you moved the mechanism from the above picture to this position so that this tilt-stop-peg doesn't stop it coming off?

The round knob, I think it just pulls off. It's probably just really tight and you will end up punching yourself in the face with it when it finally lets go suddenly.
