on other cars i've had i always had good sucess with a rubber mallet, or failing that a club hammer. :) mind ur fingers though cos that hurt lil bit

have you released the handbrake?

sorted now. doh.

yeah the handbrake was off (left it in gear though), so i did the tried and tested fix. if all else fails, give it a few clouds from all angles with the rubber mallet. that loosened it up some. :)

nice to see you think the same way dino! (or is it a thing that all blokes do naturally? if it dont work, hit it! )

im starting to learn that the 5minute job in the TSRM manual needs to be at least tripled to allow for 'old car syndrome'. muck cleaning, rust scrubbing, stripping threads, rounding off bolts etc...
