Have the spanners 1Cup, tempted to do removal myself but need access to rear of house and have to keep SWMBO smiling.
Luckily have a good neighbour with specialist tools as he maintains old Land rover Fire Engine, was ex Fire Maintenance mechanic.
Have many other things to do also, so summer not a worry for me, probably better actually as it's warmer for the arthritis.
Getting it done by August would be the plan.

The slipping cluch costs more today than yesterday, Derv. the bill / invoice is already rising. But your in front of it, most people start after the big bang! Lol
