Rear dropouts....

[bikestuart]

Thanks Ian, I have one of those and I also have the frame and fork end alignment park tools so I'm feeling pretty well tooled up. I'm going to take it easy and if after a bit of effort it looks like it needs heat or - indeed - anything much more than gentle prising with a lever and the above tools, then I will just stop.

Cheers

Ok, that was less pain than anticipated. Leveraged jaws apart carefully with large screwdriver, checking the spacing with vernier caliper from time to time. Then pulled into line slowly with wrench, then trued up with dropout alignment tool and finally got hanger straight with hangar alignment tool.

OLN is 127mm, which is fine.

Here's the finished job.

Thanks for all your help and advice.

Cheers

Nice job. They often look worse than they are.
