Note:
If the mixing chamber disc does not easily fall out of the nozzle body, carefully blow compressed air into
the abrasive inlet, ensuring that the disc will fall out into your hand or onto a soft surface to avoid cracking
or breaking. If compressed air does not remove the disc, carefully push down on the disc from the mixing
tube end of the nozzle body using a 3/16" Allen wrench or similar device suitable for pushing.
