Hi,

Good evening, i started this restoration about 8 years ago, but things tend to get in the way mainly kids.\n But now they are teenagers. I seem to have a lot more free time. So here we go.

I'm having 2 issues. Currently, the first one is how to remove the rear roller. There seems to be a head to get my socket onto. But should I be turning it left or right?  I tried both , but I don't want to be tightening or threading the head.

Rear roller

The second is the front rollers, im assuming the the round spacer/bracket should be loose and removable? There is some rust so I assuming it will need some fettling to remove, currently soaking in wd40

Front rollers

Any help would be great thanks
