Thanks for the picture showing the procedure. I will try that tomorrow. the only thing was I found the padlock leaver not to be very responsive?? I'll let you know tomorrow if I succeed.

You wont feel much with the leaver all it is doing is letting the pressure off from the four hydraulic clamps that hold the kingpost in place, The are the four round pots two at the top and two at the bottomof the kingpost corners, once the pressure is released then the kingpost will move.

Great news, just make sure you slide the kingpost across every few weeks just to keep it freed up. :thumbup:
