What you'll need:

- 13mm wrench

- (2) 14mm wrench(es)

 

Before diving in, you'll need to Remove the Top Panel.

Locate the steam pressure gauge on the front left side of the machine.

Place one 14mm wrench on the square fixture on the gauge (inside the bracket) and the 13mm wrench on the capillary tube nut

Squeezing the two wrenches together, you'll loosen the capillary tube nut enough that you can unthread it the rest of the way using your fingers.ECM-Mechanika-Steam-Pressure-Gauge-Capillary-Tube-Wrench-Movement

Place one 14mm wrench back on that square piece, and the other 14mm wrench on the nut fastening the bracket to the machine.
