Has anyone ever removed and replaced the brass or bronze thrust washer that appears pressed into the back (inside) of Hobart-style, grinder attachment cylinders? If so, can you share how you removed the old washer and any other relevant info?
For reference, here are a couple photos of the thrust washer in my very old, #12, grinder attachment cylinder. I have considered attempting to punch it out from the back; angling a punch downwards from the back and trying to contact the back of the washer at the top of the weep hole. I fear buggering up the recess for the washer if I blow out the top of the weep hole, though.
