• I found an easyish way to seperate the control head from the alloy housing. As noted in the previous answer, first remove the silver nut and rotary connector then push out the red tube. I then used a 13mm followed by a 12mm socket as a drift in the hole with the threads where the rotary connector was attached and it was out in under a minute with very little damage. As the control head and housing are a flush fit and an awkward shape you just can't put the assembly on something flat and hit it so to to get some clearance I put the hex bolts back in the holes from the bottom and used a couple of bits of spare wood to stand it on before i hit it.

• its very difficult. You need to remove the silver nut ( tightly fixed ) , and then push out the internal washer/tube ( red in colour). We ended up pushing it out by having to damage the internal part of the control head ( which was being replaced anyway ). Its tight but will eventually come out. Try not to damage the detergent holder and the hose fitting below unless you have ordered new ones of these. We had to resort to a hammer and other tools to literally bang/force the part out. Good luck! By js - reading - 29 March 2012
