Thor, or should that be Zeus?

[Boyan Silyavski]

Water now flowing, was completely blocked. Had to take top off and eventually got some crud out with air gun.

I have read of many people hack their spindle, breaking gaskets blowing with air gun. Dont do that! Or do it with care as a final remedy. The good thing is that you have opened it. I did once that on a 0.8kw spindle and had to open it later...
