Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine: How to Install a boiler

Stefano of Stefano's espresso care is showing you how to reinstall a boiler on a Rancilio Silvia espresso machine. This video includes how to position and rebuild the OPV valve and how to install the stainless steel braded hose.

A COUPLE OF NOTES:

When I'm repositioning the ground wire on the boiler, there are 2 different ground connectors (and a toothed washer). Make sure you connect both of them.

Although my bolt tightening was never addressed in torque, I am often asked about it, so:
The driver is a 4mm Allen head (extended for better clearance) and the torque is set to 4.
