When you took the claw off the pedestal, it should have dropped the bars. Maybe try putting the claw back on the pedestal? Then take it off again? Or, reload a save before taking the claw. I always clear the entire area before taking the claw - just in case something else affects the situation....
Thanks, I've sorted it now. The claw had fallen off the pedestal, and I'd picked it up off the floor.Therefore as you said the pedestal hadn't been "clicked", I Just had to jump up and down on the pedestal a couple of times for it to work.
Thanks
