Taking apart an Excel
Posted by Yehuda Manne on Thursday, 12-Jul-2007
I'm wondering how I can get farther inside my Excel, beyond
removing the baseplate. My spoon has come loose from
the plastic rod that drives it back and forth, it flops around
inside the tobacco chamber, not totally preventing making
smokes but making things more difficult and sloppy. I'm thinking
a little squeeze with a needlenose ought to fix it.
I see several tiny white plastic tabs poking up through the
body of the machine but don't want to mess with them
until advised by someone with more experience.
Thanks!

RYO Magazine covered Excel take-down in their last injectors issue [link] (a little over halfway down)... It looks like spoon removal isn't covered. To remove the spoon, remove the "screw" (contrary to what he says, reassembly is not a big deal) and the plastic stop (slightly NW of the screw) which snaps in/out.

The only thinng I can say on reassembly is the little pyramid shaped spacer (I relate it to an aztec style pyramid ) needs to go in sideways. It will fit ether way but if you put it in wrong you will get a clicking noise when the handle is pulled.

I love this forum, it's been really helpful to me
