Went to open bathroom (top) window yesterday. Jammed ! After a bit of
fiddling realised it was one side which was sticking, and managed to
"shake" the window free. On inspection I noticed that when the handle
turns, it engages a metal plate at the bottom centre of the window,
and two shootbolts either side. It's the laft shoot bolt which is not
retracting with the handle.

Removing a few obvious screws, I can see the connection into the
handle is broken.
How the **** do I remove the lock to repair/replace ?. I spent over an
hour yesterday trying, before I thought it better to ask than carry on
and break something ...
Anyone any tips ?

push the broken shootbolt into the opener and just leave it there?

I've done that already (it can be screwed to adjust it, so I have
shortened it so it can't engage). However I was hoping for tips on how
to remove the bugger ...
