Penetrating fluid and heat, always works.

TBH, never had to much trouble with these.

Two different types depending on chassis number and they are on TC so not alot of cash

 hi thanks for the replies
well its soaking in a pot of diesel at the moment as it wont shift,might have to bite the bullet and buy a new one.not surprised that theres 2 as theres about 4 diffrent cables for it.
