Pra - this is an old post and I was just posting that pic as an "add-on". I believe the original problem is solved.

Haha, didnt see that. BTW since we are talking about the MP, I heard awhile back there will be upgraded O rings that would last longer, is it available yet?

Yep. They changed the orings a while back (1+ years?) now to extend the service life from 3 months to more like 6. I am not aware if there is another update coming down the pike however.

Since we're on the topic on rebuilding, How does the lower portion of B2012R come off to access the last H1010 o-ring?

I didn't see it being removed in the LM video and it doesn't really seem to budge, so am wondering if I'm not applying enough force or if there's a different way of getting it off.

It's just have threaded part to the group head, on AV this would be just copper tube with fitting screwed in. Just use big enough socket. See picture below

Pra - Beautiful pic !

I have updated the previous drawing to reflect the fact that there are different part numbers for those "nuts".

Thanks Pra!

Any idea what size it is on the MP so I can pick it up before the next time I open mine for servicing?
