What wi........................

On second thoughts

Fay, there's nothing like a decent pair of stilsons:

But, seriously, go easy with the spanners or what have you, they can make a complete mess of things very quickly.

I have 14" stilsons and a mole wrench you can borrow if that helps, be careful though I don't want them all bent or broken.

The filter wheel is sitting on ice at the moment, next to the rubber glove!!!!!!!!! Waiting for my tool delivery.......hope it's quick

[Rocket Pooch]

Fay,

Does the new tool/s vibrate?  You might need something that vibrates to get it off.

[RobertM]

You must be nearly ecstatic at the prospect !!!

[Rocket Pooch]

Very curious thats all.

[RobertM]

Sorry that was supposed to be addressed to Fay 

[Fay]

Well the ice & the rubber glove did the trick.........this time!

Fay,

Have you tried lubricated the threads?  It might prevent it becoming quite to locked next time.

I think black boot polish, a small touch, or silicon grease works, but an absolute minimum, and dont get it on the optics.
