You should get in touch with Dave, he could maybe give you some pointers.

Maybe it's my avatar??

Murray Cod. 6cm undersize so it went back. Not a big one but bloody good fun to catch. They hit the lure hard and have a good fight in them.

I like fishing almost as much as bikes.

I'm pretty sure kippers don't come ready made. Funny buggers

Sorry Hawk!!

There's been a bit of thread jacking going on while I've been at work I see

I've got all my stud removal stuff and plan to make a start tomorrow.

I'm going to use a blowtorch to try to loosen the studs first. Now should I heat just the stud and not the head itself?

Thanks for any replies guy's.

Wet rags or even some ice or dry ice on the head, and heat the studs.
Should come out easily.
Same principle for wheel bearings - put them in the freezer overnight and they'll slide straight in when you have to fit them .
