I am slowly restoring a 1974 La Pavoni. My model has the internal brass sleeve with the removable screen. This is good when it comes to cleaning the screen, but now i need to remove the sleeve in order to replace a gasket.
I am wondering if anyone in GCBC land has one of orphan espresso's flange socket wenches (
http://is.gd/v7JKn2) that they have made to remove the brass sleeves? If you have one, might you be willing to let me borrow it? I'm happy to pay shipping both ways.
I am also going to try and use the advice from this video (

Thanks,
Lyndon
