Hi All,
Buggered up my ignition barell over the weekend and now trying to replace with a good 2nd hand unit.
Have taken the honeypot off and now trying to get the barell out. How does this come out? I have looked, looked and tried cannot work it out.

Cheers
Jamie

sometimes the slot is still hidden a bit. when its cast there sometimes is a small skin over the slot. if you push on the area where the slot is you will bust through.
