The only tools you need are a can of WD40 and a roll of duck tape.
If it doesn't move, and it should - use the WD40.
If it moves, and it shouldn't - use the duck tape.

WD40 is vastly over-rated. You cant beat a good hammer ... the bigger the better.  |

Angle grinders are the way forward.
Fix anything with an angle grinder. _________________ Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly

I have a lot to learn - I thought angle grinders were basically for UNfixing things! _________________

Tape is definitely my fav BG, came in very handy when I dropped my Aprilla while touring Scotland, and have you noticed that when consulting a workshop manual to do a repair or maintenance how clean and pristine their machine is while the part you want to work on (or at least mine) is usually covered in crap, oil ect  |

Might I suggest you wash it more frequently  |

Actually m8ty, I was refering to the time of accident repair, I always keep my bikes in good condition before and after runs.  |
