Replacing the cartridge in an early Aqualisa 200, but could not get
the rear o-ring out. Showerdoc is hopelessly optimistic when he says
use a crochet hook. Maybe the design changed a bit later, there's no
way to get anything behind it. The only option I can see is to skewer
it, but my skewering items all failed to get far into the rubbed,
it's stiff stuff.

Any ideas to get this thing out? Ie what tool could I make?

Corkscrew?


Straightened out fish hook = using the barb to try and skewer the ring
and pull it out forwards?
