Levo Gen 3 Specialized Levo Comp Alloy Gen 3 '24 dropper post

Hi,
I try to change the dropper post of my Specialized Levo Comp Alloy Gen 3 '24 but it does not move a bit. What do I need to unscrew to make it loose? Is this screw relevant, I can't loosen it.

No that screw is nothing to do with the dropper
Have you release the inner cable from the dropper lever
Your either need to release the cable from the dropper lever or remove the dropper lever from the handle bars

The post don’t move as there is no free play in the cable

I released the dropper lever from the bar and unscrewed the dropper itself, but it's not coming out enough to tick off the dropper from the cable. Does the outer cable need to be moved at all? Can I release the inner cable somehow?

Hi no the outer doesn’t need to move at all
All I did was released the inner cable from the lever and the dropper came straight out with the inner cable attached to it and the outer didn’t move at all

I managed to unhinge the inner cable from the lever and it came out a few inch more, but still not enough to release the dropper post. I think I have to cut off the inner cable and put a new one through, the old is too short. Problem is, it has this small knob on the lever side which makes it impossible to pull it out more.

This will give you a good background when playing with the post and cable.
