Anger and Laughter with my Eheim Classic

Since I've had my Eheim Classic 2215 I've been very impressed with it so far, but today was the first time I've opened since its been running.

So I turned it off and shut off the double taps, then I set about taking the head off it. This is where the cursing and struggling began and continued for about 20 mins. For love nor money I couldn't I pull the head off. I was getting to the point where I was going to throw it out the window.

But then I had a brain wave and realised that I was basically pulling on a vacuum and my A Level in Physics reminded that I was unlikely to win. One double tap open and a second later the head was off. I was pleased to say the least.

Anybody encounter this with theirs?

Been there done that. Try to put the cover back on with the taps closed & see what fun you have.
