Since you're new to this type of job, perhaps you've had a fiddle already with this and being less expereinced in these matters, have found that it's come off in your hand? So would that be the reason that you're looking for a new one? You think you've broken it?
It could be that after just leaving it alone for a while it'll return to its original state and all will be sweetness and light. Perhaps you could try that old trick your mum used to do when you fell down as a kiddie? You know, kiss it better? Or give it a slap for messing about?
Maybe one of the more experienced guys from here would be prepared to have a real close look at it for you and tell you if it's worth doing anything with. After all quite often a quick bang and a gentle rub down can often get these things back into working shape. Maybe they'd even take the old one off your hands leaving you get a replacement.
On the offchance that you've really buggered it and do need a new one, these people might be able to help

But be warned. I'm not sure why, but I have a sneaky feeling that they could be foreign, so may not understand some of the nuances of the English language. If you send them a fax, make sure you spell out in big letters exactly what you're after.
Hope that helps.

I am thoroughly surprised you guys dont know this: there's this little screw in the front (its hidden in a sort of a hollow). when unscrewed both bottom halves drop of. From there you can reach the inner mountings, unscrew and replace. Be carefull though, there are a lot of complicated other things around inside.

Is this also in English called "a pass on an open goal"? There sure are a lot of strikers to head it in.
Very funny, love this sort of verbal play.

I'm not sure that working on one of these is something that can be undertaken by a novice. I've tried many a time to get one of these off but try as I might I've always failed. Maybe it's because I don't have the proper equipment for the job or there is a certain knack to it but after hours of trying I've spent many a sleepless night wondering if there was something else I could have done. It always seemed so straighforward a job when you read the instructions but I've looked at hundreds of different manuals, diagrams and followed the instructions to the letter and still I never seem to get it right. I'm told by profesionals that there is a "sweet spot" you need to hit with a tool which gets them off easily but I can't find it, aparently women are better at this than men for some reason.
Anyway my advise is to get a Pro in to sort the job out for you, at least that way you know the job will be done properly and you won't have to clean up any mess afterwards.
All FWIW, IMHO, AFAIK etc.

Unless you've already had hands on experience with one of these, it's best left to someone who knows what they're doing. As with all jobs, if it's done well then it can be a very satisfying experience. But if you cock it up, you could be in big trouble.
I also find that if you ignore it and it gets no attention, then it often sorts itself out - sort of diy

Being an expert in these matters i find that is all the unneccessary bits it is attached to that are the main cause of the touble particularly the general frame that moves it about. that can be very noisy and wearisome.

Sounds like a classical case of crevice corrosion: this type of
fitting should be permanently exposed to air.
