*** Unplug the grinder from power supply ***
PLEASE READ THESE NOTES BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
Some parts of this assembly come pre-lubricated with a food-safe lubricant. Take care
not to get these parts dirty.
This kit comes with one new metal washer on the side, but if this washer is bent in
shipping, save the old washers when disassembling and use them in the new assembly.
DO NOT USE BENT WASHERS.
Baratza recommends removing one shim from under the Sette cone burr after performing
this repair. This is because the new 2018 Sette gearbox seats the ring burr lower, and
closer to the cone burr. See step 13 in this guide.
1.
Remove motor/gearbox assembly from grinder. Please follow this video for assistance in
removing the motor/gearbox (S056/S057):

2.
Once the assembly is out of the grinder, start by removing the top screw connecting the
gearbox to the motor mounting plate shown below. There are only two screws holding the
gearbox to the motor. The top screw is easy to access, so you may use a Torx bit or the included
hex key.
