I back Paul on this one.
The "standard" twist and lock rover compressors depend on the integrity of the
now 30+ year old steel cups at either end, and the amount of surface used to
get "grip" is very small considering the huge tension involved.
It is far safer to remove the mudguard and wheel and use the more common
external type. It is a little more complicated - however the mudguards just
bolt on and off and it also provides way better access for any other work
needed at the time.
