One other item. You need to remove the two tubes as well as the two
bolts.
But yes it is as simple as it seems.
There is one confusing item. The replacment diaphrams have the metal
parts assembled slightly different than the older diaphrams & the
illustration in the manual. Don't worry about the differences and
assemble it the only way it will go on.
Oh and it's best to reassemble the top & bottom in the same orientation
So either mark it before seperating the top from the bottom or remember
how it goes.
Well maybe it is a tiensy less obvious that it initally seemed but that's
only because the factory in Turkey is assembling the diaphram wrong and
since it works onyway the Rover people don't seem to be interested in
correcting their supplier.
Oh and don't remove or loosen the glass sediment bowl unless you have a
new rubber gasket on hand. The rubber gasket hardens and will not reseal
once it is hardened. So if a new sediment bowl gasket is not part of the
kit, get one and add it to the kit.
