ok that's not a bad alternative idea, prefer that compared to heat anyway.

V8MoneyPit:
We had one that took nearly 25 tonnes to shift it! I put the new one in with a 10 tonne press though.

ChrisW70:
Gywn Lewis is offering a greasable/adjustable joint already in the housing at 65+vat, probably not much help right now tho!

Might consider this next time mine needs doing though...

Saffy:
tell you what... don't heat it up without all due precaution as the ball exits the seat like a large bore bullet with enough force to powder bricks and enough percussion to stun the torch holder   :lol:  8-[ :shock: :-#
