Hi, I am installing the pid kit for my Brewtus 2, while in there i
took the opportunity to replace deteriorated plastic stuff like zip
ties, spade ends, power switch, and both hi limit sensors. The plastic
is incredibly fragile after 7+ years of heat. Pieces just crumble on
contact.
All is well with the instructions until the "fifth step":
You will have to remove the existing temperature sensor and
the well that it fits into and install the new one. you will need a 17
mm wrench and some Teflon tape. Be careful not to put on too much of
the Teflon tape. Then slide the wire connector on the boiler
temperature sensor wire into the receptacle on the Gicar pid.
Problem: that bolt (the well) is quite snug in there, appears to be
some baked epoxy stuff holding it in (ex sealant?)
Any advice on how to get that well loose from the boiler? Can't
consider poisons like power blaster, I don't see how I can apply
enough force to free it. Seems like a big deal to remove the boiler.
Thanks,
Eric
Ps WLL has been excellent asset, but it's the weekend and I'm really
looking forward to drinking my own espresso soon!
