Oh Dear
I took the top head off to clean the grinder, all came out relatively easily, cleaned all the teeth, top and bottom, loosened gunk, vacuumed the odd bits out, then screwed the top back on.
All went well until I realised I had put the top back on, one notch wrong (there are three) nad so the teeth didn't mesh once I had screwed the head all the way on.
No problem, we'll just unscrew, rotate 120° then screw back on again
Unfortunately this is where things went pear shaped. I can't unscrew the head anymore - it seems locked in
At first I thought I might have cross-threaded, but I'm sure I didn't as otherwise I surely wouldn't have been able to screw it to the end.
Anybody have any experience with getting one of these off? I did try cooling the top with ice packs to contract the metal, but that didn't work.
Thanks for any insight
