Title: HBV - What a barsteward
Post by: Jimbob on 21 January 2007, 12:29:29
Well got me hands dirty changing the HBV
Everybody makes it sound easy, took me 2 hours and much cursing.
How the hell you are meant to get at those circlips with no access Ive no idea, but I managed it.
Is there a technique here I missed?

Anyway, thats my 1st proper bit of muckanicing, and Im proud of it!
Also cleaned my scuttle drains while I was there.

It's not a hard job, but can be fiddly. The trick, is getting the right pair of grips on the hose clips.....
