I managed to use the new on the other side, all done, only took 5 hours :/
would have been a bit quicker had i not forgotten to put on the spring clip on the 1st side

I think i prob need some new long-nosed, mine kept losing grip and slipping off, that was the main issue...

Thanks again folks, much appreciated
