[QUOTE="Hugo Myatt, post: 105616, member: 99"] EUREKA! We have it! My salvation came this morning in the shape of Peter Holmes bearing a selection of K1s and a hefty lump hammer. My apologies to Roy. We tried all the K1s including mine except for one. None would fit the hexagon due to excess of crankcase casting. The final K1 had had the periphery relieved in a most artistic manner - a thing of great elegance, if not strength. It fitted but simply distorted on the first tap of the hammer. Back to the box spanner. Utilising a 15inch tommybar (a Series D footrest hanger bolt now defunct due to a sudden lack of trueness) with me holding the box spanner in place whilst Peter applied foot pressure on the end of the bar and suddenly Hey Presto the cap moved. Hurray! No - the threads were not crossed but I have misled you all and myself. It was not Blue Hylomar. It was old fashioned Red Hermatite. I can only imagine that I used up the last of it on the filter cap and told myself that next time I would have to use the Hylomar. Many thanks to everyone for your advice and consideration. Many thanks, Peter. I am greatly relieved having been imagining all manner of ghastly scenarios. Long live the club and the forum! Hugo [/QUOTE]
