I have a Summit Charcoal Grill (not the grilling station) and the regulator on the gas assist went bad after about 6 months. I called Weber and they promptly sent a new one.
On paper replacing it looked to be simple however nothing could be further from the truth. There is simply not enough room inside the box for two hands and a small 1/4” wrench. I will spare you the details but after contacting Weber twice I have been unsuccessful in locating anyone there who could even find the documentation of how to perform the replacement.
Provided in the hardware were the screws with wing nuts for securing the hinge which would imply removing the lid and the bowl, but the directions didn’t show doing that.
My question: Has anyone here had to replace their regulator? If so how did you do it? Did you take the grill apart or just use miniature screwdrivers or some sort or special tools?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
