Steering coupling(I think) siezed
That thing, there, it's stuck, any ideas how to get it off non destructively? otherwise, destructively and where do I get a new one?
Cheers

I presume you mean siezed on the splines.
Drive a small chisle or screwdriver into the slot. Should come off easy enough then.

Nice and sunny now, but the drive's still a bit nasty.
Ended up working through an hour long horizontal shower earlier, not pleasant.

I dont want to hijack but is there a replacement upgrade for that part that doesnt involve a huge bit of soft rubber, so the feel will be a bit
sharper?

I ground of the heads of the studs, removed the rubber then bolted it together instead, took all of thirty minutes, and much beter IMO.

Got it.
I was using the wrong random implement found in the shed, the right one did the job nicely.
Oh, and it started raining again as soon as I got outside.

Have a look at Rally Design, they do a U/J coupling IIRC.

Luego do a polyurethane one IIRC.
Or they did about 4/5 years ago!
