Keep doing that for a while then you should be able to rotate the arm on the spindle to free it and get the two apart for cleaning.

Thanks, I was just about to put heat on it until I saw you wrote 'seal' lol

Bryanj:
The seal is a small O ring, it has been known to drill and tap thr arm for a grease nipple

Thanks. That shaft hadn't been greased in years by the look of it. I've cleaned it up and re-assembled with copperslip and new O rings for now but tapping a grease nipple is a good idea.
Worryingly the previous owner said it had been given a recent front brake overhaul!

Saesneg Shaun:
So another small issue. The front mudguard is rubbing on the tyre, mainly the brake line keeper but the muguard is also close.
is my mudguard damaged or have I refitted it wrong?
