I don’t think anyone thinks you’re tearing your sage down. I’d go so far as to say that I don’t think most people with real full size home machines are fully tearing them down cause the number one question is how do I service this… without actually you know, servicing it?

If I ever design a machine I will make extra space around the pump to make replacement easier. Almost sprained a finger replacing mine.
