Yup:

its this one

apologies and thanks to silver bullet who took the original picture



any idea how that split rubber boot comes off?

i've got access to a soare one - if i can work out how the old one comes off....
if its not too important - can leave the old split one on.....

I think that is the pull down unit..... it looks to me like it wont be a problem unless the split get so big it splits completely all along and the rod pulls out..... you could put a cable tie around the split end to help keep it tight.

I have never taken that unit apart so couldnt advise how to remove, it could be just a push fit, or screwed on or even pushed and glued.

Mart.

the pull down units on the other side - but thank you for your ideas -
will take a closer look and put up some photos - when i dismantle

That doesn't look like a boot..

It looks like a ball and socket joint, with the socket made of black plastic, in which case you pop the socket off the ball and unscrew the (split) threaded portion ??

exactly so senor -

easy when you've got the knowledge -


pop up n unthread was the way to go -





thanks for your information and interest

You're welcome

PS. You might get away with a good degrease, superglue split + good binding of insulating tape (or a couple or three small cable ties), if you can't get a spare
