Could you please explain how did you remove the top cover-ring to access the body-cartridge (step 1 in hansa manual)? I have tried to pull it up (as shown in Hansa manual) but it doesn't move - it is stuck. Does the top ring is "threaded" and I should "unscrew" it, not pull up? Thanks for help:)
It is NOT threaded. Push the "stick" IN towards the base, and wedge in a small flat screwdriver (or the end of a paperclip) between the ring and the stick; and then try to pop the ring off by pulling up on the stick. You may have to insert the screwdriver a few different places inside the ring to get it dislodged. A healthy dose of WK40 might help loosen the ring as well.
