Finally the big moment came for the drop and after hitching the complete unit to a pull-lift and sling, once I took the weight I removed the securing bolts, of course the thing was stuck fast in it's place but after a quick smack with a hammer and bar the seal broke and the unit was resting on the pull-lift and sling which I then lowered to the ground and used the same method to tug the unit from underneath the machine.
I did attempt to strip the unit but it would appear that it needs to be pressed apart and then back together again, so I'm not 100% sure of my next move but hopefully next week I should get the unit sorted one way or another.
