Hi guys,
My Dual Boiler had a leak from the hose on the side of the steam boiler tank, I took a look and there was a lot of calcification. I cleaned it the best I could but its so hard to get in there. Now that I have replaced the O-ring and bought a new tube I can't get the tube back in. I have been at it for hours. I've lost 3 O-rings by dropping them into the machine and can't retrieve them
My question is how do I remove the steam boiler tank or is there a better way to get at the area I need? I have scoured around on forums and youtube but I can't seem to find any information on it.

I've not had to undertake this task, but, if I were faced with it I'd take the approach suggested elsewhere on HB.
Removing the steam boiler is not for the faint of heart
Try this, remove the solenoid, very straightforward and accessible - 3 wires and four screws (check YT for videos) you will now a better chance of refitting the new hose, if you apply a little food safe silicone grease to the 'O' ring it will help hold it in place as you seat it home on the boiler.
Good luck

The above answer is right.
That side seal is hard to get in but food grade grease is a big help. Make sure you use food grade or H1 rated grease.
