WATER INLET SEAL

"Remove base. remove water inlet coupling. replace seal. reassemble"

"Take machine to someone who knows what they are doing and its an easy job."

"Search on youtube for a guide."

"Utube searched how to change a water hose - this allowed me to know how to take the back section off. top first then back, remove water inlet seal and replace with new. put all back together and no leaks so far (touch wood)."

"Youtubed it"

"Remove back panel screws (6) then 3 more screw under plugs, two more screws holding top panel also need to be removed, the panel can be lifted enough to get to seal retaining screws which give access to seal, put in new seal and put back together"

"Couldnt fit part it was incorrect part"

"Water seal - removal of the required panels was trivial. the difficulty lay in the very short plastic tube from the tank gasket to the first low pressure pump. it is assembled with only a few millimetres spare pipe. i clipped the ziplocks off both ends fitted the gasket removed the very bottom large main screws (that hold the base onto the body) and initially pushed the pipe onto the low pressure pump. ziplocked that then flipped the machine onto its side. then carefully reattached the pipe to the gasket assembly. it was a painful exercise as it required considerable joggling of components and fingers that needed to be 5cm longer..... i would highly recommend the kit comes with a replacement length of clear plastic tube about 15cm in length and two small ziplocks. it would make the job quite trivial with that. the group head replacement was trivial and fitted beautifully."

"Remove top cover and then remove rear cover and fit new seal to base of rear cover. refit in reverse order."

"There is a good youtube video. best to watch that. it was a bit of a pain as the screw closest to the seal has rusted away so needed to be drilled out."
