If you use your grinder frequently, and want it to last more than a year or two, then at some point you're going to have to replace the brushes. When brushes wear down, your tool can lose continuity, which means it won't run correctly--if it runs at all. Luckily, brushes are inexpensive and the repair is an easy one. This article will show you how to replace the brushes in a Makita grinder. 

Remember to use our Makita parts finder to find the right brushes for your Makita tools.  Replacing the Brushes
