Press on tab while pulling up on K-cup until you hear a click. Repeat for the remaining tabs. We found using the smallest of the "plastic opening tools" worked wonders.

-
-
Once all of the tabs have been pressed, the K-Cup should just pop out. After, you just pull the remainder of the K-Cup. You have successfully removed the K-Cup.

Remove two 9 mm Phillips #1 screws.
-
The screws are located on the top of where the K-Cup would be.
you show two screws I have 2 more deeper in how do you remove them?
My K10 had two larger screws than the photo. There were Phillips #2 head and could not be retrieved with a magnet when they inevitably fell into a tight space as they were not attracted to magnets. There was also a catch toward the back of the top cover that finally released when an upward force of sufficient force was applied to the bottom front of the cover.
In my case the pump was fine. My problem was coffee grounds in the hose blocking the flow from the pump. The grounds were in the hose shown in Step 4.

Once you remove the screws, the top cover should come out.
-
You will then want to remove these screws which are the same size.
On my model k10, these screws are actually slightly larger than those on step #3. So it is best to still separate them, just incase. Happy repairing~
The top cover didn’t come off easily on mine. Once I removed the 2 screws I had to slowly lift it up from the front until it popped off. It looks like there might have been a small glue spot at the back center of the plastic edge.

Once you get those removed, you are going to want to pull on the hose until it pops off.
-
Once the hose comes off, the needle will fall out by itself.

Where do you buy the needle I know you can get the exit needle with the holder, but can’t find this one.
