I'm always intending to look after my Classic better but inevitably lazily don't bother then the nut seizes up. Annoyingly its happened again, and I need to change the gasket. I've tried lubricating oil and will try tapping it gently with a hammer. What's the next thing to try if that fails?

The shower screen is held on by a No.2 Phillips screw. I wonder which nut you are trying to remove.
Three Francesconi (CMA) espresso machines - Rossi, San Marco, LaCimbali, Faema and 2 Mazzer Major grinders- CoffeeTech Maggionlino, Hottop, Alpenröst and HW Precision roasters. I decided I needed a bit of a change so I roasted some Monsooned Malabar. That was a change!

Thanks to all those who answered. I managed to get it off by priming and heating up the machine, tapping the screw quite hard a few times with a hammer, then turning the screw clockwise fractionally before going back the other way.

just a quick tip... may help others,
if you get a stuck screw, lever down the shower with a flat head screwdriver, then use some pliers to grip the shower and turn it.
normally the shower will rotate the screw with ease and help loosen it.

the wife wont let me have anything bigger.....
