Thanks Mick.

Re: Rear jampot.
Even with the correct tools they can be a swine. Ali to ali with decades of corrosion will lead to stripped threads and then they are useless. I've had some in buckets of diesel for over 2 mths and still they will not come apart. Others that look like they've been dredged up from a Loch came apart easily, luck of the draw.
