I've got one here still on a car mate. How quickly do you need it?

Lemforder one from ebay should be around £35 delivered. Avoid other pattern makes, as they can be bad.

Yup, nothing wrong with reusing a good one - though if Lemforder (or GM) is available new somewhere, it will obviously last longer, and some people find them a pig to change.

I found previous ones easy enough,but this one gave me a bit of trouble -and cost me a fingernail,to to interface between finger and lump hammer. ;D
Followed your 2 hammer guide to the letter in the end,and off it popped. ;)
