• As Chris said with the cotters, put an old nut on the thread, undone slightly so it’s flush with the end of the thread and hit that. You can just use the nuts that are on there, but you risk mashing them slightly when you hit them.

  • Quite a learning curve here!

    Yes, and whereas when I was learning there were plenty of these standard parts to smash up*,
    now there's the risk that something unobtainable gets damaged.

    That's partly why I keep posting here on these little problems.

    • I did plenty of damage myself!
