removal of collar

Lizzi

new burrs are on order, but still would love to get the burr carrier off... Looking at the spindle it could just be tapered.... but not a great deal of space to try and lever it off. WD40 ( and patience) to the rescue, unless anyone has anything else to suggest.

Is it a left hand thread? Possible that you are trying to tighten it? Cafin8td

not tried anything yet, hence my question before:

Tips on removing the bottom burr carrier? clock-wise/counter clockwise or just lift off after a drip- soak of Cafetto?

Looking at the pic Lizzi I would say you need special tool # 12345 😃. Or the same stlye of tool used to change the cutting discs on angle grinders. A second tool to hold the 2 lugs sticking up ( could get away with a flat bar but something purpose built would be better - like a piece of timber with a saw cut in the bottom maybe)

Lizzi

... then, i will wait for BF to dismantle his... >😃 IF we need a special tool, once he gets his done, i might bribe him to let me borrow it :thumb: 😉 L

Nah. Invent , create, succeed - or break :rofl:

Lizzi

all for doing a girl-mod, D, but if BF can get the darn thing off his way, happy to follow 😉

Ok...,I gave up. Could not get the bottom burr carrier off, so cleaned underneath with the help of cut-off zip ties and Cafetto-wipes. Everything looks spic and span now, new burrs fitted ( thank you, Coffeeparts 😉 and put together again. Ran the first bag through... booodifool! No heat, just lovely ground coffee smell. ^-^ Good for another many KG's. Happy Lizzi! 😉 L

Brilliant Lizzi! Where did you get this grinder if you don't mind me asking?

Lizzi

The Bay of Good Intentions ( and Evil Decisions 😉 ), Brett. We got her about a year ago for the commercial side of my coffee-fascination and ran her on a grind setting most suitable for the average Hardly Normal machine. She ran a tad hot, though, and i decided to tidy and tart her a bit. Shame about the bottom burr carrier, but i am comfortable that she is clean enough to produce good grinds again. 😉 L

Ahhhh, but you still don't know how to get it off. That would drive me crazy. I would loose sleep over that. :rofl:

Lizzi

Very true, D... and I am losing a tiny bit of sleep over it. :tearhair: However, I also know that BF will find a way to get it off, and then I will be able to do it as well :rofl: Hasten slowly... In all seriousness: I needed the grinder for tomorrow's shipment, so function before beauty! 😉 L
