Many thanks for everyone who offered help and advice on this subject.
I may well reply to some of you individually to take you up on kind offers for spares etc for the future.
However, for the benefit of anyone else stuck in this situation (rings seized solid and wouldn’t budge even with the application of penetrating oil and heat) the following worked:
<![if !supportLists]>1. <![endif]>Drill 3 holes in the top of each sieved ring down to the thread
<![if !supportLists]>2. <![endif]>Apply penetrating oil (hopefully you will see it seep into the holes and start to come out on the edges of the thread around the ring)
<![if !supportLists]>3. <![endif]>Leave overnight
Next morning, one of the rings was free enough to remove without any heat application, and the other need a small amount of heat to shift it.
New tool attachment was then made for the rings (the original one with holes had been well mis-used) and welded on.
New olives (doughnuts) and away we go!
