I don't believe there's no engineering around, you just haven't found it yet!  Ask a mechanic at a local garage workshop

Wrap the swinging arm in brown paper & send it to Saddlebags. He's got a spark erroder.  Wink

failing that, wrap it in petrol soaked rag and set fire to it, when its burnt away then you can trike it  Wink Grin Grin

I think if he could get it off to do that the problem would have been solved anyway.......

Today I had my angle grinding frenzy.
Cut the top two legs of the H link.
Ground the remaining ally tubes through and chisled off, leaving the bare shaft seized in the swing arm.
Cut a 29mm section out of it and drifted the outer sheared end inwards and therefore out.
Luckily the blind half retracted easily.

Now I just need the new parts...

If the guy who designed it was advising, probably yes!
