It’ll do yer piles as well....everyone’s a winner..

:lol: Thanks John, I did see this on eBay but I don't think there would be enough room to use it, besides the other half might get funny ideas and use it on me :?

As Ron's suggested I've ordered one of those rubber strap tools and see if that does the trick, I'm surprised how stuck fast the thing is.

I think john-e89 may be a bit tender at the rear after seeing that. :lol:

I I lived closer, I could come around with my solid wood and get it off for you Tim :wink:

Just a thought, but have you tried to remove it wearing a rubber glove - you'll get much more grip on the glass.

Come on Tim lad quit lounging around....it ain’t gonna unscrew itself is it....

If it's a NEFF oven, then you can get a removal tool that works well.

Other make will probably supply something similar.

Your full of surprises John, that looks tight mate

Mine was rock solid so I used an old rubber kitchen glove and adjustable pipe pliers. glove gave grip without shattering the glass.
Failing the glove I'd have used rubber bands, piece of inner tube (yes I have lots from off roiad Jeeps), anything grippy

Remind me not to ask you to change the oil on my car John :lol:

New rubber tool is on its way so in the meantime I've put me feet up

I did try a rubber glove but to no avail and then went and tried it on the cooker and it didn't work on that either

Many thanks, mines a Hotpoint and did search for the cover removal tool but it looks like only Bosch/Siemens/Neff do them Trust the Germans

My saviour tool arrived from Amazon a while ago and it took less than 1 second to remove the cover, after all that huffing and puffing with a rubber glove and wearing a gimp suit :lol:

What a great little tool for a few quid.





Thanks for the suggestions

Tim.

Great news OP!

After all, a man can never have too many tools (and I suppose even a rubber ones counts).

Many thanks, I was slightly embarrassed as the other half watched on how easily the cover unscrewed and has suggested I need to join the gym before I become a complete weakling
