The consensus of the group seems to be that I didn't apply enough 'brute'
force. The earred part of the diff that goes into the u-shaped channels has
a tendency to get sort of pinched in place. I was a bit weak at that time
having been there for 5 or so hours in 92 degrees heat. I was going into
the beginning stages of sun stroke (seriously) and packed up and went home.
The glossy pages of the Kippings catalogue that I had brought along for
reference had melted and stuck together.I shall returned againg tomorrow
with more 'persuaders', a new attitude, and renewed strength. I shall keep
you posted.
Thanks for all the responses,
