Stuck solid !

Well I made it to the boat.... to cut the bloody grass again. I thought it would be nice to light the boatmans stove but the chimney cap is stuck solid. Lesson learnt there, apply a smear of oil before capping it next time.

I have given it a blast of easing oil and will look at it later. Plan B is destruction !

As a fellow biker Nev, you must have a tub of copper grease somewhere. Brunel wouldn't have had any problems with the Great Eastern if he had a tub.

Chris,

Good idea, I have indeed got some copper grease I brought for the brakes on the Pan. Problem is getting the cover off. I have left it hopefully getting a bit of penetrating oil, if it is still stuck it'll be plan b !

The bikers gospel.

If it moves and it shouldnt, gafer tape
If it doesn't move and it should, WD40
If it still doesn't move, pass the hammer
