Gran Gaggia disassembly advice? - 2007/10/09 23:54 My trusty Gran Gaggia is having similar water flow problems as have been described by other posters to this forum. I've done a couple of descaling routines which seem to have made the problem worse rather than better... I reckon it's time to do a bit of internal investigation, starting with the grouphead.

I've read Dave's Gaggia domestic grouphead disassembly article (http://www.coffeecrew.com/content/view/291/99/); unfortunately, my group looks quite different – it doesn't have the two allen bolts holding it in place as pictured there.

I've managed to locate a Gran Gaggia schematic here: http://www.partsguru.com/GranGaggiaEspresso.html

From the looks of it, I need to take the lid off the machine to get at the grouphead. Seems easy enough, but I'm a bit stumped with the removal of the steam knob, which blocks me from removing the lid after I've taken out the corner screws. The schematic seems to suggest the knob just pops off, but to do that, I think I'm going to have to reef on the thing pretty hard. Before breaking out the pliers, I'm asking for the advice of any current/former Gran Gaggia owners out there. Maybe there's a little trick I'm missing that would make removal of the steam knob much easier...
