Just acquired a 14 year old mini Luigi, pretty sure its never had its burrs changed and its been in storage for the past 2 years according to previous owner. So giving it a good clean and will be changing its burrs. Overall good condition but just smells like old ashtray.
Cleaned what i could for the heavy caked on grounds with a toothpick, but I know there's definitely more underneath the disc (whatever its called that connect the moving motor to the lower burr).
I can't unscrew it as its tightly screwed on and will move with the motor. Tried holding the sides but i've heard that they could snap? Someone has to have done this before that doesn't require breaking something or a heat gun?
Do I need to sacrifice some screws that fit in the photo and hold that while taking off the nut?
------------------------------------------------------------
Side note, could I use isopropyl alcohol to clean inside the chamber? Or stick to a tissue wipe? Trying to get a deep clean and remove the heavy smell.
Thanks!
