Hi,
Looking for some advice.
The gasket between the E61 grouphead and the front panel on my Isomac is corroding. I have a replacement part and am looking to install it.
When I look on the inside of the machine I see that to insert the replacement I have to remove two nuts holding the grouphead to the body panel and two copper water tubes.
The problem is that these are a pain to get access to. For the nuts I guess I need to use some sort of flexible socket wrench. But for the copper tubes? Any ideas how to get some decent torque onto them?
Anything else to bear in mind on this job?
any tips much appreciated!
