If you just want to change the diaphragm it is easier to remove the pump then you can get to the four cover screws. You still need to drain the system though.

dieselculture hiya yeah definitely needed a tripod 😂😂😂 You should always turn the water off when diving inside a boiler. You're there with a screw driver anyway to take the boiler covers off so might as well just turn the valve off that's under the boiler while you're there to be safe. But no this part doesn't actually need the water off to be changed. Just best practice. The switch can be pretty tight so don't be afraid to give it some welly getting it off and the new one on again. Hope this helps 😊

dieselculture hiya it's easy to drain, make sure you fill it back up afterwards!. To empty turn off the cold water going into the boiler and then open your hot water taps and leave it to empty. To finish draining the boiler there's a big red twisty knob, it's kinda obvious, just twist and hold and the rest of the boiler will drain. (if memory serves me correct). If you Google the boiler name and put manual after and there should be a pdf file of the boiler manual for you to download and will be good for points of reference. But sounds like the diverter valve, worst case senerio is it's the heat exchanger maybe.

I very much doubt that you're Gas Safe Registered in which case you shouldn't be messing about with boilers. Why would you need to turn the gas off, you don't know what a DHW heat exchanger is, you don't know the flow & return pipes. If you drain the boiler properly you won't get water everywhere!! Not a good video at all, in fact it's dangerous. Please delete

When you need to drain the boiler you should always cut gas feed. Basic safety. All manuals point that out.
