I am replacing the full set of seals and gaskets in my Olympia Cremina 67. I have followed many of the posts and youtube videos. However I am having trouble with the head gasket, and I really don't want to damage the fragile piston sleeve. Steve Robinson says, "Had not everyone read my posts on how to properly remove the piston?" in his rebuild thread. I habe already removed the piston, but is there an archive of threads that would have info on replacing the head gasket ? I have removed the inner top spring clip and top gasket already.

Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.
