Somewhat more "technical" replies here; best keep to body kit and car cleaning queries on this forum.

I disagree...there are a number of technical people on this forum...me included.

I rebuilt my towball lock from totally seized

Disco owners might be the best group for drive resurfacing though

Agreed, but you can count those who aren't also on the D3 site on the fingers of a badly-mutilated hand. Having made a fistful of cash on the Tarmacadam scams, I do know where to post an enquiry about which ostentatious wrist-watch to buy with it...

Perhaps in N Ireland they use a hammer for everything

If you use the vice grips to twist the bar that actuates the locking mechanism (anticlockwise) and then tap the tow bar with the hammer left to right it will eventually fall out.

And yes, we have more practice than most with hammers over here!
