  10. "I tried to take a photo but the camera won`t work. I can`t get the the batteries out, they are corroded.

    Should I try a puller, penetrating oil and heat or go straight to the cutting discs?" :thinkingface:
    Here`s to the next 19 pages ;)

    Seriously though, glad you got it sorted :):upyeah:

  11. Paul you haven't mentioned why the sprocket was stuck on so firmly.
    Was it rust that was the cause of the removal issue?

  15. Paul. In the spirit of Quid pro Quo, can you help?
    The metal rack on my cookers grill tray has one of the crossmembers loose. I have tried to fix with Blu tack but it keeps on melting.
    Can you offer any advice?
    Cheers.
    Richard

  16. I believe Paul has a spare sprocket in 2 halves (approximate) which you could fashion a clamp arrangement out of.....

  17. Excellent. The residual oil would act as a kind of auto basting mechanism.
