  • Mignon lower burr carrier removal?

    Hi,

    Just wondering if anyone has removed the lower burr carrier in their eureka mignon?

    I'm trying to but the bolt is spinning and not getting tighter or looser?? I am stopping it from spinning using a wooden skewer and trying to undo it with an 11mm socket by hand. Both directions and nothing happens...

    I have noticed some versions have a brass hollow nut and some have a solid silver one like on mine in the picture. Are these different versions?

    Any assistance would be great.

    Thanks

    Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but it should unscrew in the same direction as the motor spins

    On Eureka grinders the carrier bolt has a left-handed thread. So to unscrew you have to turn clockwise

    Let me know for any problems

      there's no difference between brass and aluminium bolts.

        Thanks for the replies.

        I finally got it.

        It also helped to turn the adjustment knob all the way coarse.
