Tried for hours. Seems it’s glued on?

ok, the top cap is screwed on. I used a double sided tape around it to have a better grip and just twisted it. The cap has thread lock in it.

I know. - Nowhere. You need buy another gimbal (non-working) for a parts. By the way, it will be good to make a manual for other disassembling of a gimbal - I mean rotating parts. Some info of this can be found in this video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5Xi-b8s...

But not too much :(
