To achieve that I had to push the spring down and use my 10 inch Vise Grips on the large diameter end of the spigot and push with considerable force.
None of this would have been advisable with the striker still attached to the bonnet!
Now to repeat the process on the brand new parts which are also unyielding.
Thank you, I am convinced!

The gap is visible.in image 2. It only would need to be 'just cracked' if the thread is being wound out.
