The problem is that I'm a Professor, right? 🤣 I have Professorial delusions. So I replied that i would have a go at it myself.
This morning I nipped to the local builders' mechant and got myself a replacement press-fit elbow and set about swapping the old one, with Hilaire Belloc's epic poem ringing in my ears:
Lord Finchley tried
To mend the electric light himself.
It struck him dead and serve him right.
For tis the duty of the wealthy man to give employment to the artisan.
Wealthy? 3/n
