4. If the shower screen plate does not fall out of the machine once the Allen screws have been removed, it may
need to be gently pried out. A flat-head screwdriver or knife works well for this purpose. If the plate still will not
come out, a pair of needle nose pliers can be inserted into the holes for the Allen screws and turned until the
plate comes loose.
5. With the screen and plate removed, the group gasket will now be accessible.
Depending on the state of the gasket, one of several methods may be employed in its removal. Most commonly
though, the gasket can be removed by prying it from the group head. The gasket should be removed from the in-
side out (pry from the inside of the circle outward, not from the outer edge).
Alternatively, if the gasket cannot be pried loose, a screw and a pair of pliers can be used to remove it. Drive the
screw securely into the gasket using a screwdriver, taking care not to go all the way through.
