I managed to get the two hooks I made from a metal clothes hanger under the tiny lip of the sleeve, but they pull away when you try to lift it out as it is so thin.
Fingers crossed the new dryer fits now I've managed to remove the thicker of the two sleeves.0 -
What plastic is the ring you took out?
And how sharp a tip did your spike have?!1 -

I can't recall how sharp the tip of the spike is, but I vaguely remember it look a bit like the one in this photo

But, good point, if the new one has a tapered tip, it'll hopefully fit through the remaining ring.1 -

Hi all, after a bit of jiggery-poker with the old metal ground spike we managed to get the new rotary line to fit! The metal spike was a bit battered and bruised so we had to hammer it to make it round again.
Thanks to everyone who was kind enough to respond and offer suggestions3 -
Brilliant! Glad it's sorted.
I guess it's raining now so no washing
But you can still sit and admire it.I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
