I know how to replace it in theory...any hidden nasties I need to be aware of?? Thanks. -------------------- I've not been right since my karma ran over my dogma.

Nuts will likely fall out. Keep note of the orientation of the spring loaded arm. Look at an assembled version if the bits do fall apart. THe stainless dowel (6mm i guess)may need a tap from a hammer and rod to remove it, this is a tight fitting part on the sides, not so on the handle/cam. Same when reassembling. Little silicone on deck when reattaching.
