Penetration, perseverance, and patience.......... and it's off! Dismantled, cleaned, lubed and as good as new!

I must say though, calling it a locking cap maybe going a bit far!? I think a quick turn with a screwdriver would have had it off in no time!!

Another annoying thing off the list! Also fixed the fridge this week too.

Have a good weekend folks.

Thin smear of grease around that seal (the bit the two prongs run on) will help avoid a repeat.

You could always undo jubilee clip on rubber and then untwist complete neck from arch and then set about it,though that itself can be easier said then done with the cap on as youhave little to grip to turn
