Does anyone have a spare bracket and plunger assy for the wall target they could sell me? Mine is worn and the wall won’t reach high enough and so isn’t working. Everywhere seems out of stock:

So I need to replace my left diverter bracket as a bit at the end has snapped off. Following the manual’s instructions to remove the mechanism, I removed both set screws and the shaft that connects to the phurba is supposed to slide out...but it absolutely won’t budge. I’ve pulled it, pushed it and it doesn’t even look like coming out. Any advice?

Sorry Manny, been off pinside for a few days - here’s a pic.
I have tried twisting it, pulling it. I’m almost at the stage where the only option seems to be to cut the shaft somehow 
Quoted from Manny65:Is it the bolts (number 6 in the below diagram) that attach the coil stop (number 5) to the bracket that have snapped off or have the bolts torn off some of the bracket as well? Possibly the nuts had become lose, creating more torque on the bolts when the plunger hit the coil stop - this would eventually fatigue them and snap them off, or if the end of the bracket was slightly brittle from hardening (due to those bolts being welded inplace) then it could have cracked and eventually snapped off with the coil stop still attached.
Would be interested in seeing a photo of it if you get a chance[quoted image]

Well I’ve finally got the fucker out...lube, punch and hammer didn’t work. Heat didn’t work. Pliers and twisting and brute force finally broke it. I’ve been able to source the parts so breaking the shaft wasn’t the end of the world apart from setting me back quite a few coins. I still don’t really know what made it stick.
Quoted from Manny65:You'd want to be very careful with a blowtorch - lots of things that could melt around there. I'd suggested heating but was thinking more of soldering iron with a heavy duty tip, as metal expands when heated and heating one bit (eg the crank arm) and not the other (the shaft) can help.
That said seeing the pics, Dave's idea of punch and hammer is the way to go.
