Pullman lever for E-61 portafilter machines

Lever for E-61 portafilter machines

You don't need any special tools. The holes are drilled in such a way that the levers are difficult or impossible to screw on by hand. This is intentional because you definitely want to avoid too much play and the recordings of the individual machines are not 100% identical.

Therefore, there are basically two options:

1: Hold the 'receptacle' of the machine with the thread using (rubber-coated) pliers so that the thread does not rotate.

Then, using a little force, turn the lever straight up by hand so that the thread cuts into the wood. This always works well if the threads are not too thick. In this case you don't need glue.

2: If the thread is too thick and the lever cannot be screwed on by hand, simply carefully drill the hole a little larger. Please be sure to clamp the lever in a protected manner (with rubber/cloth, etc.) and drill carefully at a slow speed. Be careful not to drill too deep. If the lever is too loose, fix it with a little wood glue.

We cannot accept any liability for damage caused by improper drilling.
