I am fed up watching youtube clips.
How do I remove my roller blind. I cant get to the ends, so no pins to push in.
It does not lift up, I have tried moving right & left.
The right hand side where the plastic chain is seems to have movement, please give me some tips before I just pull it down.
Removal required prior to decorating.

Some plastic types have a small clip at opposite end to pulley, others need a small blade down the edge to release, always at the end away from pulley.

I forced the opposite end to the pulley undone 1 fixing screw & got it off, now its off I can see how it should be done.
Yes push from the opposite end to the pulley.
Thanks Foxhole
 
In the pic the pulley is not fitted correctly the chain should hang vertically, in can be rotated into the correct position before offering up the other end.
 
Just removed a blind in exactly this situation. On the non pulley end there's a T or U shaped pin/plug pull this out, there's a small indent on the inner side to fit a screwdriver blade if more leverage is needed, then push the blind down on this end from the top, it will drop about 7 mm and you can now see the short pin on the end if you look through the hole where the pin/plug was, when lined up pull the blind towards you and hey presto it's out.
