blowtorch and a hammer and you'll have it right off...

You have undone the pinch bolt? It goes through a slot on the input shaft of the steering box and the "clamp" as you call it (can't think of a better name, mind ;) ) can't be removed from the input shaft as long as that bolt is present...

If you're still stuck I probably have one here. Let me know if you can't get it off...

goes between the input shaft of the steering box and the rubber donut?

PM me your address, I'll put it in the post at lunchtime tomorrow.
No charge, you can get me back some other time :)
