Good idea re 6 sided socket. I also used a bit of tape to prevent direct contact.

A big hexagonal socket is the best way to go. Less likely to mar the chrome finish...Originally posted by scientist View Postthank you for the tip, now just need a big spanner!
Do not use twelve sided sockets or ring spanners, as these are much more likely to cause damage; same goes for shifting spanners too...

Thank you - do I tighten the big one or the small one? not sure if it's the small one that's squishing the big one down or not.

Yes- metal cools and contracts. All you need to do it tighten it a touch.

Rocket Giotto leaking top bolt on E61 Grouphead (see pic)
I've had the machine for just under a year and I started noticing some water near the top largest bolt on the grouphead.
Picture here showing water marks: Imgur
The weird thing is the seal appears completely dry and fine when the machine is on and in use. Only after overnight in the morning do I notice some water drops around the bolt, after the machine's been off for 12+ hours. Is the top part of the grouphead under some sort of pressure while the machine's off?
No other leaks, everything else about the machine seems normal.Tags: None
