My T ring is stuck on the back of the filter wheel. Even stilsons will not budge it. I have put it in the fridge to see if metal contracts. Has anyone any ideas please?
Ok, fridge did the trick! So any problems......stick it in the fridge

Well Fay, I'm horrified ! I cannot believe you use Stilsons on your Astro gear.
I think Rick is quite right to Quarantine this post, we don't want young budding astronomers learning to use Stilsons to put kit together do we !
Well, Robert, if i could not have got it off, I would have had to keep that wheel for the Orion & get another for all else.
I had not even screwed it on tight, and it was impossible to move!
Will put a little bit of clock oil on the thread. I have had this problem before with other threads. Some seem very coarse & that could be the problem.

What's all this about?

Still, it's always good to watch :)
Chris, you've been thinking about that Naked Bike Ride too much ...
if you get a stuck T-ring on a naked bike ride, I suggest you check to make sure no-one's nicked your saddle mate.
