A bit of lubrication helps (no innuendo please), grease / wd40 / oil. Or if really tight, a few drops of petrol (thats how we used to put motorcycle footrest rubbers on back in the day).

So the petrol makes the rubber swell / spread for a while?

I'd use washing up liquid as I was told greases etc don't do rubber no good, but then what do I know, not being a pro an orl!!

Used a spray degreaser we has at wuk, made the rubber a bit softerer an slipperier, went on a treat an the solvent will boil off in a while. Backed it up wif a stainless jooby clip. Thanks

Hmmmm. I avoid washing up liquid in contact with metal as it contains salts and leads to corrosion. Rubber and grease? - lots of seals and gaskets are rubber / rubber based so I don't see a problem there.

Totally agree about the salt in washing up liquid, which is why I am very stern with anyone who want to use it to wash a car with it!! But the metal under the car will be thicker and constantly attacked by salt off the roads anyway.
Dunno about the rubber and grease thing, I do know that so many "rubber" things now are Nitrile. So less likely to have a problem with stuff.
I was told all this so long ago, it may be old hat now.
Dunno if I CBA but I might google it later cos it is good to know what is the right and wrong on this.
But I do know that petrol dissolves some rubbers as delayed action explosive devices used to be made by pulling the pin on a grenade after putting a rubber band around it to hold the handle down, then dropping it in a tank of petrol. You will see the rest!

Woo Hoo!
Oaksh!tfurnitureland have now repaid us through Paypal, so we are about to celebrate with a wee coffee and a chocolate bar before I fecks off to the chiro college.
Took a lot of "persuasion" I fee! and a lot of time considering we claimed on about the 11th of November.

Nitrile will cope with oils and hydrocarbons. EPDM will wave a white flag before long

There's salt in fairy liquid? Every day's a school day here. To soften the water I suppose..

Had a bit of a fall at work today. Still breathing so thats good
Take care everyone!
