Right Ive tried everything now, am I missing a trick? remove the cable, unscrew the reatining bolt, pull out. Thats what Mr Haynes has told me but it just wont budge!
before pulling it out, try to tap the side of the cap lip, where the 10mm bolt goes through, to turn and loosen it off the gearbox by 10deg anti-clock, then hold the lip and pull it out
