I have considered this, but was worried that over time It would loose its strength and fail. And I haven't found if they make replacements for them.

Thanks for the idea, I'll give it a go and see what happens

The more important question is .......... is it designed (and supposed to be) removed?

I bet everything on that machine "comes apart" - but that definitely sounds like making it that much of a task isn't by design.

Not sure if it's meant to come out all the time for cleaning but it certainly does come out. I have the exact same one as you and after using it a couple times it was heating up bad( to the point where it started cooking the meat), it actually partly melted that plastic bushing which apparently is not a common problem... Anyway long story short the manufacturer sent me another one which was rather easy to change and haven't had an issue since. I have grinded a lot of meat since with no further issues, I bought extra freezer packs for the throat but now there is no big problem. It still gets warm after doing a lot of meat but not melting the bushing hot not sure what caused it. Anyway it does come out

Interesting. I have also had this experience. I chalked it up to the grinder head being too tight when I screwed it on. It's not constant, but yes, I too have this issue. I will give the warranty line a call for the extra part.

Good to know I'm not the only one lol... I just did like 100lbs of burger and made sausage with it and had no heating problems at all. Maybe like you said something was too tight or put in wrong I don't know but it does a great job ever since...
