Help Needed: Removing the Red Handle from an Apple A/P/S

[jkinak]

My mom has wanted to buy one of the apple A/P/S for a couple of months and last week one of her friends knew a lady at church who would sell her an UNUSED one, with the stand for $10!!! So she grabbed it ande we used it today-pretty slick!!
The question is-it is the old one with the two handles for the different thickness of slice and I can't figure out how to get the red handle off and put the green one on! Anyone have this and can help me out??

Thanks in advance!!

I have both handles for mine. you need to use the wrench tool. (or another tool) put it in between the tines of the part where you put the apple, then turn it, that piece will come off. Then you can put the new one in and reattach the tines, and tighten then down with the wrench. You are just using the wrench for leverage, to help you turn
