You can order replacement gears directly from us. Once you have your new gears, follow the video below for a step-by-step guide on how to replace them.

Fitting the New Gear

1. Insert the small barrel into the center of the large wheel.

2. Align the gear with the slot inside the rotor.

   • Note: The outer part of the wheel will spin, but the middle section should stay still.

3. Insert the screw and gently turn it backwards (anti-clockwise) until you feel it drop into place.

4. Tighten the screw using the Allen key.

5. Reinsert the pin into the small wheel and position it correctly.

6. Push the pin down using the pliers until the pin sits flush with the gear.

7. Finally, place the lid back on the canister.
