Attempting to fix my La Marzocco Linea Mini: a story in photos.
The easiest way to access this part (I.e. least likely to break something) is through the boiler. It’s that tiny little nozzle in the rear back of the boiler. Unfortunately, it’s inset from the boiler wall and is proving to be VERY difficult to grip. We’ve tried about 7 pairs of pliers and can either not grip it, or if we do grip it, the pliers just pull right off when we try to turn it.
This is all the screws and disassembly I had to do to get into the boiler. I lay things out in the order and relative locations in which I remove them so I can put them back together correctly.
The other option is to come in from the backside of the boiler. It’s possible to remove this whole assembly and access the flow restricter from inside this good piece. But everything fits just so, and apparently it’s very easy to break the copper tubing if you try to remove it from this side.
