Anyone replaced the pump on a Gaggia Classic?

James_R · 2014-07-09 09:45:18

Trying to put a new pump in at the moment but the bottom rubber section (Eaton Pump Support) that contains the intake tube and connects somehow to the pump isn't budging. Is there a technique to releasing it? I'm afraid to just use brute force. :confused:

I did it recently and my one just slide out with some wiggling, then I had to cut the tubing going onto the nozzle as i couldn't get it off.

Managed to wiggle it off but turns out the pump was not the issue. I had a blockage in either the OPV or the 3 way. I've since removed and soaked both parts in citric acid, working perfectly now!

Good results. All the parts can be picked up on ebay too, and loads of youtube tutorials on how to replace them.
