This is a good mod – I used a hack
saw blade to take the nub off without removing the ring. Starret jewelers screwdriver 7/64 width blade to get the triangular head screws out. Reassembly is delicate – the hopper fit too snugly – had to start over and readjust cover.

Just wanted you to know what a great modification this is. I am an espresso fiend… I like my spoon to stand up in my coffee… and could never get a grinder to do the bean fine enough. With this modification… I am right where I want to be. Thanks so much for being brilliant and helping the rest of us figure it out too!

Thanks for posting this. A word of warning to first timers: the screws are all traingle shaped. I had to look everywhere fir something to fit in there to work and ended up finding a pair of scissors that did the trick.
