Cheers for the suggestions, I’ll give the petroleum jelly a go tonight, I’ve got a strap wrench on order, it’s the sort that looks like a bit of old clock spring with a screw thread bit to tighten it, and I’ll make sure to pack it with some rubber.

If nothing works my last attempt might be to cut a slot in the aluminium part with a Dremmel, to try and release the tension on it, probably giving it a bit of help with a big screwdriver, at least I’d be able to fill the slot afterwards and paint over it, but it’s a last resort. Hopefully it won’t come to that though.

Regards
Lloyd
