Have to change the Water Softener on this machine, can anybody give me a clue how one might go about this. I have been repairing dishwashers for over 25 years, not had to change a softener in a Bosch before. I guess the base has to come off some how?
Any help much appreciated

HiBernie may I ask the reason for replacement.
Re: Bosch Dishwasher SHV55M03GB Water Softener Change
It’s leaking from it at the front you can see the water trickling out where the top join is
There are bubbles coming up the fill chamber that connects to the softener, so there had to be a hole in the softener
The base had filled with water and activated the float switchBernie
