Hi
I have a pre millennium Europiccola and have taken the group head apart to replace the seals. All was going fine, I was able to remove the piston and shower screen from the group.
When I got to the section in the group where the piston seal is, the snap ring which holds in the four hole washer and the piston gasket was rusted.
The two ring sections at the end of the snap ring just broke off with no effort.
The rest of the snap ring is still there in the grove. I manged to get the four hole washer and the rubber gasket behind the washer out, but have no idea how I am now going to deal with this snap ring.
Any ideas would be great.
thanks
