Um... I would be very surprised if you could remove the element without first removing the boiler from the machine. Its quite a bit of force, I had boiler wrapped in a towel and clamped in a vise at the gas station. No way to stabilize the boiler while its in the machine.
Did I misread? You guys are able to remove the heating element from boiler through that little hole? I didn't use impact to install element. Just tightened it good with the plumbers tape. Also, I don't think there is any point buying an impact wrench for this. Buy some beers for the guys at the local service station.
