Worth a try?

Pay the f**king £75 to fix it yourself and you won't get battered down on price!
I hand tighten mine with a bit of oil round the seal. Which I did 6k ago.. I changed the oil last week and could not get the f**ker off.... rubber gloves and both hands, nothing. I had so much grip he engine was twisting on the mounts but still wouldn't come off! God knows why!
