Not compatible with old v1 gen with not removable shower screen.
I can use it with my 1.6(1972) machine yet not with most needed it v1.4(1968), size is not compatible. The brass sleeve on old machine is a little bit thicker so you cant fit it in and reach the holes.

Excellent tool
Excellent. Got my old gen1 group head serviced in no time and effort.

vorbildlicher Support
Der Verkäufer hat sich kurz nach dem Review mit mir in Verbindung gesetzt und eine sehr grosszügige Lösung angeboten. Inzwischen funktioniert das Tool sehr gut. Das Problem lag letztendlich nicht am Tool, sondern an den Fertigungstoleranzen meiner alten Pavoni (Jahrgang 68). Nachdem das Tool über die Messinghülse ging, konnte ich die Hülse problemlos aufschrauben. In der Zwischenzeit hatte ich es erfolglos mit mehreren Konstruktionen versucht. Das Tool funktioniert also einwandfrei.Ich werde weiterhin bei Tudor einkaufen. Alle anderen Produkte hatten eine beeindruckende Qualität. Jetzt weiss ich, das der Service ebenfalls beeindruckend ist.

It bent out of shape straight away
The pins are made of hard metal, but the actual device itself is relatively soft metal. As soon as I applied pressure, the hole that the pin goes in bent and deformed, meaning the pin was no longer perpendicular to the hole, and therefore would slip out before any pressure could be applied. Unfortunately this device has not completed its function, and cost me a lot of money

Hello and sorry for this situation. But we need to remember that even the hardest metal cannot stand sometimes for ages of sleeves not removed from the oldest LP's around the market. So in order to succeed, please use the second set of pins and please try to ungrip the sleeve before trying again. The 1st gen sleeves are prone to blockage and destroying lots of tools and wrenches. Thank you and God bless !

Description
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.
