Sprayed with plusgas let overnight.
Clamped in vice and a bit of heat shifted it.
Happy to do it for you but it would probably be cheaper to take to a local garage than post it to me and back.

Roo pointed out that there should be two o-rings, above and below the bracket to help keep out the road crud.
Mine didn't have any which is probably one reason why it was seized.
91259-333-000, DSS and Fowlers have them but at nearly £5 each! plus postage.
Not sure if Julie does them.
Good luck

Interesting point about plusgas as I find that effective too. For information though, it's 90% Kerosine and 8% mineral oil if you've something big to soak and need larger quantity.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Pleased to see you have sorted it George.

Multiman:
Great its sorted

The guy who did it for me with heat and some elbow grease is the same guy who welded up my split main stand for just £5.00. The job he did today for me he did for free. Well, he is a resource obviously so deserves a plug. Madeira Auto Body Repairs at the Railway Arches, Brady St. London E1. Ted, thanks for your kind offer though!  :D

You can't beat a old railway arch. I had a arch Blackfriars bridge back in the good old days, all the other arches in that row did FX4 repairs. Most probably some trendy wine bar now  :)

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The railway arches in Derby were all demolished or bricked up after one collapsed under Friargate Station in the 1980's iirc.

There were some great firms at sensible prices.
