    I tried today to extract the gearbox from a UPVC window to replace it but for the life of me could not get it out. I was loathed to force it, anyone know how to remove it easily. Many thanks

    Thanks for your reply.
    apology for the pics, there are 4 bolts, 2 either side, i took out all the screws and was left with the gearbox that i couldnt remove, i believe the square hole (if that makes sense) has chamfered over time so the handle is turning and not moving the mechanism for the shootbolts.
    Is it possible to repalce these parts or would it be preferable to replace the whole window?
