£12.23 incl postage, needs a tickle with the angle grinder to fit in place.
Even then, you'll need to cut the anti-rattle rubber, though.

I usually undo the nut, leave it on the thread to protect it, gently lever the rod forward away from the rack (maybe with a bit of wood in there to stop your 4' crowbar doing damage) then give the nut a sharp clout, and it should come off the tapered bit. |

Simon, I bought one of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DRAPER-19MM-CAPAC ... 5882677c5a i reckon it'll do the job, perhaps a small amount of fettling - i've yet to use it! I can bung it in the post if you like. |

Thank you gentlemen, I might have a play in the garage today (today we need rain) then I will have a go at making one, if I don't succeed Neil I may take you up on your offer, although we should have one with us whilst racing. Ken do we need to keep the rubber or can we just remove it and throw away? Sean/Russ - I would normally use one of these methods, I need to use the gentle approach, as we want to too see if we have damaged the rack, so I don't want to add any extra forces/damage etc. etc. |
