you can remove the disc by depressing the small black knob located on the aluminum housing just above the disc on the left side of the grinder (same side as the on/off switch.) The disc can then be turned in a CCW direction. if it is to tight use a screw driver by inserting it in one of the holes on the disc. Hope this helps

It is fairly simple to change the cup wheel. Unplug the grinder first. Then towards the front on the left side of the grinder on the silver part there is a black button. Press the button down with your thumb and spin the wheel with the other hand. When the wheel is spun far enough the button will depress slightly further and will lock the wheel in place. Then you continue holding the button down and turn the wheel counterclockwise and it will thread off. It can sometimes be on there pretty tight. Good Luck

It's self explanatory if you ever used a grinder. Of not you want to use the two pronged wrench that comes in the box. It will match up to the ring. On the top side you will push the black 'hold' bottom at the same time and turn the wrench to loosen. Opposite to reinstall whatever cup you are changing to. Exactly the same for a metal grinder. Hope that helps

No instruction sheet with product. Remove wheel and lay out parts so you can put them back in order.

Use an adjustable crescent wrench, if you have one. If not, pliers will do. Simply turn S-9888 counterclockwise several turns, and out the one in need of replacement will be out. Put the new one in place, then turn in accordingly until it no longer moves.

It is a proprietary part. Probably cheaper to replace the entire tool. It can be sharpened with a grinder if you're careful not to ruin the temper.

Hi Kevin...I contacted HCI over the phone, and I think they were in Washington state if I recall. It was a very informal call, as if the company may be very small or something. They asked where I bought my machine, got my address, and sent me two new pistons for free...had them in a few days. The replacements seemed better than the originals, though I'm due for some new ones again as it's been a couple of years or so.

Just assembled it. Right wheel was squeaking. I unscrewed both the wheels and noticed the one squeaking is loose because it was defective. Unscrew just the 2 wheels and compare side by side, check if one of them has a deeper hole or not. Will be trying to order the defective part. Wish me luck.

So, I guess they want the nuts removed and the axle pushed out of the existing wheel and then replaced with their axle? Hmm, she is not going to be able to do this but maybe she can take to a bike shop.Thanks, Paul

The wheel plate and pedals are pre-drilled. The shifter is not. You may want to add additional reinforcement for both because they're not very secure. My pedals still move around a little -but it's way better than the clamp or some other setups that I've seen.

I'd had the same problem for a while and had to use my finger to move whatever was remaining of the handle. Ended up ordering replacement spare parts, including the spring, at www.bullonerosso.de in Germany. Spare parts set me back under EUR 20 - I would've paid more in postage if it hadn't been for a friend of mine who was traveling to Germany and brought those parts for me. I had to use an L-shaped screwdriver to remove the two screws holding the ground coffee container. Other than that, replacing the broken handle didn't take more than five minutes.

Hold the cup with the handle slightly angled to the left, and turn counterclockwise (to your right). That should snap it into place. Not too much effort needed.

redo it again, start off at a different position when you start to screw it on, it should fit exactly on there. are you using the crusher nut too? there are a few youtube vids on it too broski

Hi Zack, To adjust the grind, unscrew the nut at the very top of the handle. Lift off the handle and you will see a tabbed washer that fits into a slotted retainer below it. Lift it until the tab is no longer in the adjustment slots below and turn it either counter clockwise, for a larger grind, or clock wise for finer, and drop it back into one of the slots in the retainer. Replace the handle and nut and test the grind. It's pretty responsive and you will notice a difference from as little as two or three notches in either direction. Keep tweaking until you get your desired grind. Hope this helps, Moses

There is a lever next to each of the wheels. You move it into any one of the preset slots. Very simple. Takes seconds to do. No tools.

It took me so many tears and much anger to figure out. Each wheel must be pushed up into the five arms. Each wheel should have a small stick on top that can fit into each of the five legs' holes with some force. At least that's how I did it. The instructions were nonsensical. Good luck

I just used a large flat headed screwdriver. Got between the metal rim and the plastice cover and gently worked my way around the outside of the wheel. Hope this was able to be of some help to ya.

Hello, to answer your question, most guys just put a different wheel on the G27 body instead of trying to modify the existing setup. Here is a video of just one idea from Utube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHGmBHoygJA There are other ideas out there too. If you insist of taking the leather off the wheel (from my experience - And I have had a G25 for years and bought me a G27 when one of my wheel buttons began to malfunction. I have modified the shifter so I can have sequential shifting but that is all I care to do to the wheel. If you decide to take off the wheel leather, I wish you luck as it looks like it is really on there. :) -Val

I had to drill a hole into the plate that holds my wheel (forward of the axle). In order to attach it to the actual axle bolt, I was told I'd need to buy a whole new wheel with a longer axle. Drilling the hole was the best idea and has not compromised the integrity of the steel that holds the wheel in place. Now that I have that set up, its a very fast connect, disconnect. If I could attach a photo I would but I don't see where that's possible.
