I’ve removed the heating element out of B2 and the key was an impact wrench. Heating may help but since the element is threaded into the boiler, not sure nut buster heating will help. Seems Crem used a very sturdy sealant/glue when assembling. It required significant force to break free.
Good luck! From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Ira Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2021 11:51 AM To: RW <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Picked up a Brewtus II.

Never done it, but seems the answer is 1/2" impact wrench. Something I did when I was descaling my 2 group Rancilio was connect the 230V to 110V so the solution stayed warm for in my case days. I wonder if connecting the elements in series on the Brewtus might accomplish the same thing, though it might still get to hot. On the Rancilio there were 3 elements and I only used one or two to keep it warm. -- Ira -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
