Try cutting it flush and drilling out a few mm less than the thread size, that usually sorts it, otherwise someone will have one as most have changed out the hinges for stainless.

Put it on a steel block hold with mole grips to keep you're fingers out the way and use that big hammer on the sides this will shock the threads and will come loose !!! If in doubt hit it harder ?? Good luck richard

Send it here, I'll get it out......I like a challenge


I've got a copy of Normans drawing, can make you one if you're stuck.
