Snapped Jockey wheel clamp handle

[fkeates]

It's out!! 🥳


The handle was quite loose in the 'nut' and generally turned ok, but a section round would go really stiff.



Initially I started to screw it in, thinking it would come out the other side, but it went really tight and wouldn't budge and I worried that it may be a hole/nut with a stop on it, preventing this, so did undoing instread.



I managed to drill a small indent into the bolt and use mini screwdrivers to spin the bolt around to undo it.

Nice work…. Safety footwear looks a bit flimsy though …. 😂

Great news, don’t forget some anti seize grease on the new one, I would have said Copper Slip Grease but I know someone would chip in that it’s abrasive!
Great news all the same and well done.

Genuine safety sandals for summer working, rather like the flip-flops I use for mowing the lawn..! 🤣 (I did wear gloves though)
