No I didn’t think so, ah well I suppose if lock nuts are available I could cut of the old one and change it.
Thanks
Indeed, you will need a pair of parrot nose pliers. Never heard of these before but having been in a workshop environment for a year now these things are “get out of jail” items.You can get the whole rod out of the rack, and do it on the bench...which might be easier...?
Not me as tools have been my Best friends my whole lifeI’m going to do it. And **** the fact that everyone else will be bored by it!
I think we should have a Tool Corner thread where everyone shares their favourite workshop tools. But I suspect I’m on my own.
In the mean time I have ordered some parrot nose pliers!

Eureka! Warmed it up until smoking and the nut yielded, didn’t need the gripper tools in the end. Thanks for everyone’s input.We really ought to be mentioning here ( that these kind of serrated pressure gripping) tools are last resort tools and shouldnt be an every day go to on the advanced Italian engineered machines, they have a tendency to chew up what ever they are gripping .
