On my last tank fill using my Alkin W31, I noticed a leak had started at the top of the water separator that sits between the 2nd and 3rd stages of the compressor (as opposed to the final water separator / filter unit).
The parts diagram shows the cap should unscrew, allowing me to change the o-ring that I suspect has failed.
However, the cap is smooth and I see no easy way of removing it without really scarring up the cap. It appears to be aluminum so will scar using almost any tool.
Has anyone had to remove this top cap on the water separator, and if so, how did you do it?
Again, this is not the part that also holds the filter as that's easy to open.
Thanks in advance,
