I did this very carefully to ensure no springs etc. were lost and I could remember how to put it back together!
Cleaned it all up reassembled and refitted. It worked! and seems to be even easier to turn by hand.
This was done some years ago (can't remember exactly when - had the car nearly 20 years), and is still perfectly OK
Well done that man....
If I had know that I may have tried on my old 240...

Thanks for sharing that...
