    If they are the same sort of LP Gas tips that Primus sell (also
    called pin point and ultra pinpoint), I commonly used to fix them
    for my father who had an electrical contracting business.  I'm sure
    the ultra pinpoint pulled apart the same way, the pinpoint, medium
    and full flame ones all did. 

    I couldn't get your link to work so here is one:

    These have a hexagonal jet that section that screws into the outer
    "diffuser" housing.  A good pair of pliers or multigrips allows the
    hex section to unscrew from the circular outer section.   Give the
    front face a good scrape to remove any hard deposits first.  Then,
    giving them a good long soak in an acidic cleaner sold here for
    cleaning hard water deposits off baths, out of kettles etc called
    CLR often worked wonders.  Even a soak for a day or more can't hurt
    as the jet is a write off any way. 

Regards,
Brian.
