Hi all! I'm having quite lot of trouble disassembling this arm on my Enders 9060D. I have tried to pull it out with brute force, but it won't budge at all. The part which the cleaningneedle is mounted to is still mounted. Have no idea how to get it out without removing the arm first. Please ask for more pictures and such if it might help. Kind regards from Norway.

An Enders 9060D? You have got to take some good photos and post them here! Welcome to the Flame Fetish Fraternity!
Hello Kristian. I've taken a series of pictures to help. The stove out of its case. It's essential to remove it from the case to get proper access to the burner/pricker components To get it out of the case, a sprung-loaded retaining loop has to be removed Back to the pricker control, the split pin is removed, squeezing the splayed legs with pliers The burner control knob must be removed also for access, because the pricker control is right alongside it It's then a case of pulling and wiggling the lever, which should come right out with a bit of persuasion. You'll notice from my example that there's a bit of corrosion or it might be gummy deposits left by the fuel, so getting a bit of solvent/releasing fluid in there for an hour or so beforehand could help with the removal One final point that I should perhaps have made first! It's not really necessary to disassemble that steel lever arm from the brass spindle anyway if removal of the pricker control spindle is what you're wanting to do. Just remove the securing nut at the burner end and tug on the spindle. Again, some releasing oil or solvent could help with this. Though the burner control screws right out (securing nut removed first) and self-extracts the graphite packing when it does, the pricker control spindle doesn't do that. You need the angled lever in place to get the grip necessary without resorting to pliers and the risk of scoring the components. John
John, These are a super set of photos! Thanks for posting them. I do have a question or two about this model of Enders stove; is the shut off valve/needle assembly telescopic like the 9061? Also, the fuel tank seems slightly smaller than a 9061, is that so? Thanks for allowing me this curiousity. Harold/Chef
Shut off valve and pricker control spindles aren't telescopic on this model and yes, Harold, you're absolutely right, the fuel tank is smaller. More pics First sequence, the 9060D, in which the stove assembly sits in a storage location in the case until it's lifted out and manoeuvred sideways, poking the fuel and pricker controls through the opening in the case, calling for a bit of dexterity The 9061 is subtler, but that brings more complexity (and expense) with the telescopic controls arrangement. Neat though The cases are of the same size ... ... but there's quite a difference in tank size The burners are identical though, with the same output, so why make the 9060D's fuel tank smaller? Simply to accommodate that manoeuvre with the tank lifting out and shifting sideways from the storage position. More clearance is needed than with the 9061 tank to do that, which stays put in its position in the case, just pivoting when the stove case is opened up. Clever. John
You need the angled lever in place to get the grip necessary without resorting to pliers and the risk of scoring the components. Pardon my lack of English understanding, but do you mean this? I see its a bit more different than yours. Thanks so far for the help!
No need to apologise for your English, Kristian, it's excellent - my Norwegian is nil, zero. Sorry if I didn't make myself understood. Yes, that's the same lever. The difference is just a machining 'pip' on mine. If you want to reach the cleaning needle, you now only need to unscrew the packing retaining nut and tug hard on the spindle - which you will find easier to do with that 'L'-shaped lever back in place. Good luck. John
Need to unscrew the packing retaining nut and tug hard on the spindle. Do you mean this? I'm not quite sure about which way to turn or move it to get it out. Does it have to come out to get the arm off at all?
Hi Kristian. If by 'arm' (beginning of your post) you mean the cleaning needle spindle, yes, the spindle's in your photo. The bit you've unscrewed the cleaning needle from raises and lowers on the offset ('eccentric') peg on the end of the control spindle. If you want to get that component out, the control spindle must be removed, by pulling on it. I don't know, having got this far, what your intention is with the dismantling though! John
Yes, the final goal is to renew the ranite which works as a sealer. Thanks anyway for all the help and lots of grate pictures!
