That's good Jim. I've just sent another email to Mr auto about my refund for the first clutch. I am fed up of their excuses, so there is now a deadline on the refund and if I don't have it by then then a dispute via PayPal will be started, or maybe my credit card which is where the money comes from into PayPal.

Gosh Davie, that's serious about not getting the refund yet :evil:

Fingers crossed it's all sorted very quickly.

No work will be done on the car this weekend unfortunately. I'm not firing on all cylinders after a very intense week at work and must now seriously rest to (hopefully) avoid a crash.

Yep, give yourself a service Jim. You need to look after you. I know about crash avoidance. I'm very close to the wire myself just now. I don't know if we could make one decent human out of both of us. He would be a very strange object given that I'm twice your size. If he had your torso, one leg each, my arms and 1/2 each head [emoji12] [emoji13] [emoji23] [emoji12] [emoji23]

Thanks Davie :D It's not such a bad day to rest as the weather is not playing either down here today :twisted:

:rofl2: Gosh, yes but it would have a great mind though :wink:

You take it easy and get back on a even keel too!

I tell you what Davie, an amalgam of us two could be valuable...

I've always used a puller and a lump hammer as a pair Jim. Very similar to the 2 hammers method on a ball joint. Pressure and vibration never fails usually.

I've now tried every technique I know James :twisted: Any more violence on it and I may end up damaging the wheel bearing and that, with the problem as existing would be not good!
