Hi all,
I have a new seal for my sunbeam em6900 (the blue seal) and was told that it was really easy to replace the seal - "just undo one screw and take it out". Last time this got replaced sunbeam did it for free (just outside warranty too), but the machines far out of warranty now.
So I undid the one screw, took out the first shower screen and theres the blue seal... but I cannot get a grip on it well enough to actually pull it out. The only bit I can get to is the thin lip of the seal, which is not strong enough to yank the rest out.
Am I supposed to undo the bolt on the second screen as well? Or should the second screen drop out easily, or something? So far all Ive managed to do is rip little bits of blue rubber out of the old seal :-[
From all the references to replacing the seal, surely it must be easy enough to do - so I suspect Im just missing something here. Im just not game to start yanking on more bits of the group head, or start undoing more bits of it if I can avoid doing so.
Sorry if this has been covered before, but I havent been able to find any specific descriptions of the process beyond "replaced the seal"
cheers,
h

it might be easier to remove. There are two screens that should remove..
