Button Spindlesare cut to length according to the size of the cistern that the flush valve is installed in. The spindles are hollow and so stainless, brass or nylon screwsmay be inserted into the bottom of the spindles tomake their length adjustable, particularly if theyare cut too short. If you have tried opening dual-flush toilet cisterns you may have found the lid washeld down by something. But what? There are noclips or screws. Squeeze the buttons on both of the ratchets’ pawls (pointed to in the picture). That will press the pawls into the mechanism together to disengage them from the ratchets. Then pull the Bridge up. This is difficult because the plastic is a bit too strong to squeeze. I have failed to squeeze them both at the same time, even with the mechanism out of the cistern. When the mechanism is in situ, it may be easier using a ‘third hand’ to pull the Bridge up while using both hands to squeeze. There will be no way to hold the cup and buttons in their correct location. The lid will stay in place due to its weight. The buttons will be available to be pressed down and used, but they will be free to rotate and if they do the rods may engage the wrong buttons below or bridge across the gap and operate both buttons and just generally be a problem.Then there is the requirement to save water by not flushing large amounts down toilets. That led to there being a choice between a large or small amount of flushing water. Consequently you now get selection buttons and complex mechanisms instead of leavers to actually move water about. Also people want to have hidden cisterns and remote buttons. These all add to the complexity. NOTE: Due to flexibility of the Bridge plastic one side may go down with one more step than the other side. The Bridge seems to tolerate that but the highest side needs pushing down until both sides are at the same height. To raise the Bridge:

The button features two metal elements, allowing for variable levels of flush as desired by the user.

I think the main reason for modern cisterns being like they are is: People require them to fit into smaller spaces than they did years ago. Fill valves had a long arm with a big ball float on in the past. That took up a lot of space. So now these have been compacted into a much smaller volume. In the video you can see how the outlet valve splits in two, with the lower part remaining in the cistern, while he adjusts the height of the bridge. 2.

Apart from chipping and scratching it off with various tools you can try to dissolve it with Betterware Multi-Use Descaler.
