La Pavoni Old First Gen Grouphead Sleeve Removal Tool

La Pavoni Old First Gen Grouphead Sleeve Removal Tool is what you need if you own an Europiccola which has a brass sleeve with shower plate built-in.

This specific model type of shower screen is not removable, recognizable by the special brass edge.

For this model of LP’s, we created this special sleeve removal tool.

We offer along with the tool, two spare pins, in case the first two brake.

La Pavoni Old First Gen Grouphead Sleeve Removal Tool is made of hard metal and should not brake even with the most stubborn sleeves.

A few ideas about the sleeves of the 1st gens, after servicing a lot of them:

1. Sleeves usually were not removed after tenths of years. This means that in some cases, even this tool will be useless.

Some try direct flame on the sleeve to heat them up, in order to move them from the original place.

2. The built standards were poor in those days. We had cases in which the sleeve worked wonderful and in some other cases, it did not match the sleeve location.

What you need to do is remove a little bit from the inside walls / sides of our tool and retry. The problem we saw was that the tool was a little bit too small in the inside diameter for some machines.

3. Our pins are not unbreakable. Try to keep them in the correct shape and don’t over force. We do send two extra pins but that does not mean if the first two broke, the next will not have the same result.

The problem you might have is a completely stuck sleeve. After all these are machines from the 60’s – 70’s.

If you understand these details and decided to buy the tool, we assume you took these details into your own hand and will solve the problem in your own home.

As we always mention, the tools are NON REFUNDABLE/ CANNOT BE RETURNED AFTER YOUR PURCHASE.
