After I picked up a refurbed K6, first order of business was to strip it down and inspect it (as well as get rid of the extraneous bits like autofill etc) and it's left me with a few questions...
How do I remove the lower burr carrier from the motor shaft? It appears to screw on/off but it doesn't look like there's any way to lock the shaft in place.

I also noticed that everything was tilted slightly in the housing (possibly only since I tore it down and reassembled it). Is there a way to adjust this or is it normal?

Finally, if anyone recognises this, let me know, because I can't figure out where it lives. I'd hoped that it was a spacer for the mounts (hence the tilted motor/burrs) but no dice. I couldn't find anything definitive on the available exploded drawings either.
