Video: how to remove a gasket
Here's a short video demonstrating how to remove a gasket.
We're using the gasket tool we sell, which is a dental tool with two different ends on it. We have this thing made for us, as I've found most other tools are either too large to get into the tight space, or not strong enough.
And, we've moved completely over to silicone gaskets. These are our own make as well, colored light grey so that you can easily see coffee grounds on them, that need cleaning.
AI Summary
This guide explains how to use a hook tool to remove a gasket from a brass group head in a coffee machine. The process involves inserting the hook into one of the holes, adjusting the angle for better grip, and carefully pulling the gasket out by applying leverage from multiple points.
Key Highlights
- Inserting the Hook
- Locate one of the three holes under the group head.
- Use a mirror if needed to guide placement.
- Slip the hook between the brass group head and gasket.
- Removing the Gasket
- Twist the hook to get a firm grip.
- If it slips, reposition and try again.
- Apply gentle, steady pulling motion.
- Using Leverage Effectively
- Avoid pulling from the same spot repeatedly.
- Adjust the angle and apply force from different points.
- Repeat the process at multiple points until the gasket is fully removed.
Conclusion
Removing a gasket requires patience and technique. By carefully inserting the hook, adjusting angles, and leveraging different points, you can efficiently remove the gasket without damaging the group head.
