« on: 15 March 2013, 10:26:50 »
Are there any tricks to removing these bl**dy things, James V6cdx did it fairly easily, but try as I can they will not shift, pulled back twisted swore grunted all to no avail.  Would ask james again but he seems to be busy at moment, so helpppppppp

Once you've pulled the collar back, they usually need a good twist to break the "seal" from not having moved for years.

They usualy come away suddenly so wear work gloves so you don't whack your hand off the block!
