Word of warning those cheapo eBay leads are cak, and can and often do ness up more than they fix.! I have the proper genuine lead and the difference is night and day!

I would add to Red Westies post, when you crank it by go 1/4 turn one way then 1/2 turn the other way, increase this till its a full turn both ways just to make sure the rings dont grab on rust and snap then go in correct rotation.

Nice first post!
