Yeh it’s not easy. First you have to unscrew the top cap which is often quite tightly seized up, even when greased with silicon grease. Once the top is off you have to upend over the bucket and use a running hose to flush out the resin beads, which then tend to end up going everywhere You need need to slowly drain the bucket to avoid all the resin beads going down the drain and into the watercourse!

Finally getting the new resin in needs a wide brim funnel thing and a lot of tamping down and patience. Also I’d give serious thought about it if you have a bad back becuase it’s all very heavy and awkward and handle.
