I have a Glow worm Space-saver 38 and want to remove the cover?
The boiler has been boxed in by the previous owner and I want to remove the cover without causing any damage but can't see clearly how to do this. Do I just pull it off directly towards me or are there some screws or fastening that i need to attend to first.
There are four wing nuts at the rear of the casing, top and bottom, right and left corners. This gives access to silver casing. To access burner, pilot, thermocoupler, etc, slide separate bottom silver panel to right.

the 38/50 space savers have 4 wing nuts /hex head nuts + washers behind the boiler back panel. be careful you donot drop then when removing off studs do bottom ones first ,hardest to remove should be able to see top ones if not in a cupboard after all 4 removed
pull out cover straight forward. When replacing tighten nuts hand tight then tighten diagonally a little at a time so each nut is tightened equally this will make for a good seal all round the cover PS check seal is okay when exposed round black rubber/neoprene in groove around boiler donot try to remove if not damaged.
