The heat exchanger can now be pulled forward (keeping it straight and parallel) to remove it from the
heater body.

Fit a replacement heat exchanger into the channels inside heater and push back until the cast headers
hit the stops. Fit a new sealing gasket to the water connection header and secure using the appropriate
self-tapping screws.
