OH NOOOO!! IT'S WAAAAAAYYYYY SIMPLER THAN ALL THAT. AFTER TAKING OFF THE WINGNUT (CLOCKWISE), GET A 7/8 INCH SOCKET - IT FITS PERFECTLY DOWN OVER THE CONICAL BURR. PRESS DOWNWARD ON IT FIRMLY, TO KEEP THE SOCKET IN CONTACT WITH THE BURR AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, AND THEN START RAPPING THE SOCKET WRENCH HANDLE SHARPLY WITH A HAMMER (ALSO CLOCKWISE). IT TOOK ME ABOUT 10 OR 15 RAPS, AND BINGO, THE BURR SUDDENLY LOOSENED AND I COULD TAKE IT OFF WITH MY FINGERS. AND THE PADDLEWHEEL WAS RIGHT UNDERNEATH IT, READY TO BE PULLED OUT AND REPLACED. SOOOOO SIMPLE!
BTW, THE SOCKET AND SHARP RAPPING WON'T DAMAGE THE BURR, SINCE THIS IS ESSENTIALLY HOW BARATZA DOES IT IN THEIR VIDEO. AND THEY EVEN USE VICE GRIPS TO GRAB THE BURR!
These are the real instructions for sure. I replaced my upper and lower burr set, paddle, and felt ring quickly using a 7/8ths socket. Mine was loose enough that it unthreaded easily. Video says counterclockwise but yes, these are reverse threaded so turn clockwise. No disassembly required.
I appreciate the video but so many steps were missing that I found it hard to follow. If anyone else is having trouble, I recommend following the link above to visit the Baratza site for step by step instructions. Between this video and the step-by-step guide, I was able to successfully install the new paddle wheel.
At 2:40 If it wasn't for the silicon gasket your entire grinder would fill with grounds. At 4:00 minutes, The wingnut and conical burr are "reverse threaded". You turn them clockwise to loosen.
I have a problem with my Baratza Encore. I bought the machine second-hand and everything looked fine at first. Then I noticed that the grinder was hardly grinding any beans at the lower speed range and was therefore no longer producing ground coffee. I had already ordered the paddle wheel and the felt from you and then the drive shaft and the grindstone directly from Baratza. I then replaced everything according to the instructions. I also recalibrated the grinder according to Baratza's instructions. At level 10, virtually no more flour comes out. You can also hear from the grinding noise that the beans are not being ground and are skipping the grinder. The hopper remains full. I have no idea where the fault could lie.
The video isn't perfect, but it was very helpful, especially given i don't have a socket wrench. It at least made the disassembly and reassembly less intimidating for me, and I got my grinder fixed and working after.
You skipped through a bit of unscrewing and also removing the black circular piece that controls the coarseness. I'm actually having some trouble removing both can you comment?
WAIT !!! at 3:40. Attempting to remove “this”. The lower Burris counter threaded ! Must turn clockwise to remove !!! How many viewers tightened the burr using your method ??? Wow.
Wow, what a hilarious video, off camera half the time, using plumber's pliers instead of a socket, losing parts, doesn't know what he's doing! Seriously Baratza you're happy having this video as tech support??
Way too much work. Take the cover off and see the shaft at the bottom of the motor? Clamp onto it and THEN turn the burr CLOCKWISE. Shouldn't take much and you don't have to take the whole thing apart.
sorry about that. Yeah it kind of skips over the part where I unscrew the 3 screws from the white assembly. That would have been the next part. But I had a mistake at that point where a bolt dropped.
This thing broke within a month without doing anything weird to it. The fact I have to perform this level of surgery on it that soon…for the price paid…frankly, pisses me off. Hard not to think this thing is just a piece of sh_t.
NO KIDDING! So much of this video was out of frame. If you are 'challenged mechanically, have someone watch this video with you and RESHOOT the video. I would be embarrassed to show this with my business name attached.
I appreciate the video, but there is a large gap in the video at about 5:28 that skips what appears to be several steps to take the motor off and disassemble the innards (pardon me for being excessively technical there 🙃) to get to the nut at the bottom of the burr. I ran into a road block when one of the little hex screws in my unit was "pre-stripped" enough that the hex wrench wouldn't bite it. I'll be trying the 7/8" socket trick from @robertmazziotti1027, though. That sounds utterly brilliant.
You are right man, sorry yes I know. Best I can tell if you look around minute 12:50 or so it's the reversal of the operation. Maybe that could help. Sorry I have not gotten around to doing this job since
@@drinksunbear Turns out there wasn't that much missing. Just removing the 4 screws holding the motor assembly to the frame and then 4 screws holding the motor to the gearbox. And they were star drive screws (I need better reading glasses), which explains why I had trouble with one (though oddly the hex wrench worked well for the rest). I used the 7/8" socket trick (see below) with another socket wrench on the bottom nut to get the conical burr off of the shaft. Reassembly went just like the video here, and using that in reverse would work just as you described.

Confirmed, way easier! My grinder works again now. Thanks!

Yeah unfortunately not one of my better videos sorry about that. If I do it again I will repost

Thank you!
I wasn’t able to remove my burr the quicker way, so this tutorial came in suuper helpful. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped
Couldn’t have replaced the Baratza Paddlewheel without this video: thank you
Glad it helped. Baratza is amazing if you ever can’t figure it out give them a call
21mm socket and impact drill to remove burr. Easy-peasy.
I used 1 1/8 socket w impact. Came right off
I have a problem with my Baratza Encore.

Sorry to hear that. Baratza has a fantastic return policy. I would go with that

Hi Regina, let me take another look (it's been a while ) and refresh my memory
Turn right to loosen wing nut
Put cloth over conical burr
Clamp down with pliers and tap with rubber mallet lightly in counter clockwise fashion
You skipped entire steps in this video like unscrewing the assembly from the base and removing the capacitor looking thing????
Is the paddle wheel "flush" to the surface?
My paddle wheel seems to have a gap and it gets filled with grinded beans once in a while.
the white plastic top part of the paddle wheel is nearly flush with the outer black part of the grinder yes
That coffee station is cleeeeean!
WAIT !!! at 3:40. Attempting to remove “this”. The lower Burris counter threaded ! Must turn clockwise to remove !!! How many viewers tightened the burr using your method ??? Wow.
sorry I know
What additional screws/fasteners did you remove to reach the dis assembly @5:30.
the three screws on the white assembly
best video we found about Baratza! 14:13 i lost this little piece.. can i found somewhere? thanks!
Cool thing with Baratza is they will help with anything. Call and see if they can send that part to you
Wow, what a hilarious video, off camera half the time, using plumber's pliers instead of a socket, losing parts, doesn't know what he's doing! Seriously Baratza you're happy having this video as tech support??
haha I would not say Baratza is a part of it
Well...... It looks like I'm buying a new machine.
Way too much work. Take the cover off and see the shaft at the bottom of the motor? Clamp onto it and THEN turn the burr CLOCKWISE. Shouldn't take much and you don't have to take the whole thing apart.
This is the worse contraption I have ever purchased.
Totally missed removing of some vital screws/fasteners @5:30. Please provide adequate instructions.
I apologize you are right, if I redo this operation any time soon I'll try to make that more clear
Thank you for not showing the most important parts
sorry about that. Yeah it kind of skips over the part where I unscrew the 3 screws from the white assembly. That would have been the next part. But I had a mistake at that point where a bolt dropped.
This thing broke within a month without doing anything weird to it. The fact I have to perform this level of surgery on it that soon…for the price paid…frankly, pisses me off. Hard not to think this thing is just a piece of sh_t.
really sorry to hear that!

This “repair”video is a hot mess of missing steps, useless intros, etc. Very frustrating.
Yeah I get it, sorry I've hopefully changed some of that by now
using a monkey wrench to unscrew a bolt 🤦♂
Must be a monkey huh? haha

No worries man, sorry it was not more in depth. This video has been one of the videos I have the most issues with. Glad you figured it out!
great vid, horrendous design.
sorry to hear that
