So all is not lost then :)

Thanks mate :thumbsup: hopefully will have it sorted tonight :)

Any joy Denny?

Yes mate, all went well :023: I did as you said & unscrewed the bolt only slightly & it came out smooth. The first one I had to cut away from the grip as it had also been glued with some sort of industrial super glue :laughing11: Also had to cut a bit off the guard for a flush fit with the brake resevoir!

Some pics here...
