i just replaces the seal on my spare C260. It has started to occasionally leak. It’s a simple process: turn plate anti-clockwise to remove it. Invert plate, remove the blade ( one screw), remove seal holding plate (6 screws) remove seal, clean everything, spray new seal with lubricant. Replace everything in reverse order. What they don’t tell you - don’t richter the 6 screws too much. I managed to shear 2 of the plastic bushes that locate the screws and I wasn’t using my superpowers.
I Araldited the bushes back in place but now don’t trust it so have ordered a new sealing plate mechanism complete for £40 from the Leisure Warehouse. As the seal itself is about £15 and the mechanism has it in already it’s not too bad a price
