    I used a hairdryer to heat the plastic and soften it, so that it came apart with a little prying with a screwdriver. Went back together okay, except I need to put it in a vice or press it together in some way to reseat the clip parts properly in the reinforcing bar - that's what the manual says too: use a press.

    Thanks Guys, I am going to try the heat gun (on low!!!) then once in bits, off to the nice sandblaster man.
    On a side note I have arranged to buy a straight, rust free pair of steelies for $200 each. While that might sound a little steep they come with a free 2 door LS Pics to come after delivery
