So when you remove the screw you cannot turn it around a little?
You cannot see the screw, you have to feel for it. A #8 Torx head screw I think.

Hello and thanks for the reply ,got the screw out and twisted it slighlty ,unclipped connector on top and with a lot of effort managed to get it to come out about 10mm and its solid and wont move now.Soaked with silicone for 3 days still wont budge
Access is difficult and can only think of pusing back in and out again-or heating up the housing or drilling it out or taking out the gear box

Any ideas appreciated

I would not drill it out as possibly a lot of the part will end up inside.
I would soak it and rotate it while very slowly pull it out. This way the part might get the high spots cut off slowly.

Get some pliers on it, twist, wiggle and pull. It has to come out if you've removed the screw and unclipped it. Nothing else should keep it stuck in there.

This is not an area you want be drilling into.
