Well after over a year of light use I can honestly say my Lido has increasingly been giving me boulders and dust. I can even hear the burrs whisper in one point as I'm grinding, and I'm about 1.5 turns off zero! Eek!

I tried to align my lido once before with mixed results, as it is really finicky. Is there any easier or less personally traumatizing way to fix a clear burr misalignment than having to deconstruct the grinder? It's a huge headache for me but the product in the cup is showing the unevenness of the grind. I LOVE my little Lido, but it clearly needs a tuneup and I'm afraid of making it worse. Last time I used Doug's alignment video but apparently it's not idiot proof enough for me, despite detailed instructions :roll:
