I Ido New Member Messages 5 Location Derby, UK Oct 10, 2023 #3 OK, thank you, will take a photo from the left side tommorow.

Barking Mat Cuddler of hedgehogs. Messages 12,348 Location France, Brittany. Oct 11, 2023 #6 I'd start by removing or slackening the two hex heads on the rocker arm thing, if it's attached ? That round bit is on a keyway / wood ruff key, anything in the round hole, setscrew ?

I Ido New Member Messages 5 Location Derby, UK Oct 12, 2023 #7 Hi, there is nothing in the round hole. Also could not see any hex heads.
Barking Mat Cuddler of hedgehogs. Messages 12,348 Location France, Brittany. Oct 12, 2023 #8 Two bolts, attached to that rocker arm. Try a puller on the cylindrical bit.

I Ido New Member Messages 5 Location Derby, UK Oct 14, 2023 #10 Hi, there was no screws but I managed to get the job done by using a hammer and hitting it in the middle. Everything separated then. Thank you for your help.
