Replacing Sight Glass on Elektra MicroCasa a Leva

Postby Kaisa on Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:35 am

Hi all,

I'm in the midst of trying to replace the sight glass on my MicroCasa Leva. Got the old one out, new washers and seals in... but how do you get the glass in? The seals make it so tight (as they should), that it feels dangerous trying to slide the new glass in from the top (ie. where the pressure gauge goes). Any tricks?

Many thanks in advance!

Leave retaining nuts loose and apply water soluble lube to the glass and push the glass in from above.
