Hope you feel better soon Paul.
Here's hoping you fell better quickly Paul
Hahaha, gutted!! I used a lump hammer & socket to put mine on today - Then I had to use a pair of molegrips to twist as I had it 180degrees out...lol, luckily the right way around!!
ALWAYS Lubricate before you try fitting them!!! SO much easier!!
Lump hammer and socket didn’t cut the mustard with theses bad boys, hence I had to get my thinking cap on!

Nice method of installing the lollypops you used there.
After watching @Nodzed wrestle with a pair at his Zedshed I made a pair of pullers to extract and install new lollypops without the risk of a Hernia. Few bits of steel, some threaded 12mm rod and nuts and 12mm joiners plus a pair of threaded Bow Rings and some deft angle grinding of the extractor plates to clear the shaft job was a good one.

Surely you should be producing and selling these bad boys to us unskilled buggers.
Seriously, I would buy one of them.
Or hire them out as they are needed?

Not got the time to produce these pullers, happy to loan them out local to me in South Wales or get the job done at our Zed Shed Cymru. I madev them after seeing some proffessional made ones here

Sold in the USA at $140 probably more now and would attract import tax on top.
Cost me circa £30 in bits and my time.
