Gaggia Classic Pro Screw Not Removing

#1: Post by **engh** » August 17th, 2022, 2:49 pm

Hey all, just got a new Gaggia Classic Pro and I'm trying to install the OPV spring mod to a 9 bar spring. However, when I'm trying to unscrew the top panel, one of the screws won't come out. The screw will rotate, but just keeps spinning in place. Has anyone experienced this issue? Or, anyone have any ideas how to get the screw out?

So long as the other 3 screws are out, you can pry up the top panel a little. If that puts enough friction on the clip to let the screw unscrew from it, that's great... If not, you can slide a long tool in under the top panel to interfere with the clip and let the screw unscrew from it rather than just turning it.
