    I came across the combination of red capper and Belgian crown bottles, then bottle neck is too big for the capper. NB suggested that I should get out and flip the bracket, but I cloud not get it out.
    Any run in to the same issue and figure it out ?

    Just to make it clear, the "Belgian crown bottles" fits perfectly with the standard crown. It's the non 29mm actually its smaller.

    Take a flathead screwdriver and shove it at an angle against the other side of the guards from under the handles. They won't budge then all the sudden pop free. Just watch your hand on the other side if the screwdriver jumps free... it hurts.

    To add: there is almost like a small cutout for a flat screwdriver to fit. I typically use a hammer and gently bump them out.
