Some lock buttons I have broken in my life, you could say I'm really talented at breaking the grinder lock buttons but in the next video I found a way to show you how to easily create a new lock button in a few minutes!

To start first you have to disassemble the Grinder head, loosen the four screws marked in the picture. Keep all screws in a small box so they don't get lost. After unscrewing the four screws, use a flat screwdriver to remove the Grinder chalk cap

After disassembling we will start to create the new button, take a 6X30mm screw and drill a 3mm hole in it, then take a suitable spring and thread it into the screw.

Now we have to put the button that we created, put the button in the right place, and on the other side we put a penis that will keep the button in place. Then we push the button and check that it works properly and all parts can be replaced.
