Finally got this fekker out...
(Dad holding the prize...)


Needed me and the old man to get this free  :o

Thanks to RobG and TB for your help with this...should have been easy but was it f...

Here's the lines....



I'm presuming if I was doing the job on my car/for a customer that green thing is the clip and would need replacing?

Cheers mate  :y

Love the fact Haynes describes these as ''quick release'' clips  ::)

''really bloody hard work even with the correct tool'' clips would be more appropriate

You'll soon get the knack - it becomes easier with practice :y

Additionally, its seems Ralph has had a hard life, from a servicing point of view, so it may have been on a while.
