Going to shop my newly acquired vice ,it is very oily but this is how to take this model apart to clean ...
First thing is to turn it upside down , next thing to do is to remove the split pin ,this will release the washer and spring and then spin the handle untill it comes out of the housing
this pic shows where the split pin is located
Once the handle is removed it's time to separate the vice . You will need a hammer and nail punch , but you can use a strong nail . This is to release the worm screw which holds the two halves together . located between the bolt hole and slot you will see a approx 5mm pin that needs to be punched through
next is to tap out the worm screw
when you tap that thing this is what comes out
now you can pull the to halves apart .next thing to do is to unscrew the four screws on the jaws .you must clean the slots of the screws it's imperative that you do this before trying to unscrew the screws . To unscrew the screws I found using a small socket spanner with a screwdriver bit in it
Already now for the big clean up and repainting ...
