i have a Carimali grinder which i try to clean regularly... but generally persuasive as i may be, i can not get the lower burr carrier off the spindle.
i tried a lot of things, from lubricants to gentle heat, but the thing wont budge.
i cannot lever it off either: tried that too and the amount of force i applied would have been at the upper limit before running the risk of distorting the burr carrier, which is made of ( soft) brass.
so, i clean it above the burr carrier and then use a variety of short bamboo sticks, cotton buds, paint brushes etc to scrape as much of the crud from under the burr carrier, all the time working through the grinds chute.
troublesome, but reasonably effective... and at least i end up with the feeling that i did my best to clean it

nevertheless, if anyone can point me in a new direction as far as trying to get the stubborn thing off, feel free!

Eeeuw. Never, never, never shall mine become... fossilised. Wheres that chisel? I need to work off some serious shock adrenalin. ;D
