I have a couple of adapters stuck (AP ccd67 safe in its little box) cannot budge them at all.

If I have not sorted it, please can anyone bring along a suitable appliance to undo them please?

Solutions welcome

I can bring a boa strap on Thursday if you are still having problems, would be easier if we had a second one to create enough torque.

I've got a pair of rubberised sort of pliers somewhere which I bought for this purpose.  If I can find it I will bring it with me on Thursday, might be used in conjunction with Ivor's Boa strap.

Now where did I put it..............................

Two Boa's en route, but all instruments appreciated!!
