yes indeed.  I borrowed a pull ratchet winch and wrapped a chain around both sides and hey presto its done.  I cannot see any reason why the original will not work other than as mentioned grease on the various parts.  as a design, they would seem flawed to me, but I cannot see inside the main part as it is riveted together.  Anyway, job done!  thx
