Connecting Rod Assembly N036518

The two halves of the plastic cover have to be removed. This exposes the motor and compressor. The connecting rod is on top and easy to get to. I had to disconnect the air line to the tank then remove the compressor head to slide the cylinder, piston, and broken connecting rod out. Then an Allen Wrench removes the screw holding the crank bearing. Note; this is torqued VERY tight and is somewhat difficult to remove. The new parts came with a bearing so reassembly is a simple reversing of the removal. The head has two thin gaskets that have to be handled carefully. I hand cranked the compressor through several turns to see if anything was binding or rubbing. Nothing was, the new parts were an exact match of the old parts.
The replacement parts came with a surprisingly well written instruction sheet and that is my professional opinion because I used to write procedure and assembly manuals. Add to that the part from ereplacement parts was less expensive than the same part from other suppliers, this was an overall positive experience and my compressor is back up to pressure.

I had disassembled the compressor earlier to discover the reason it wouldn't work. Upon arrival of the parts, I found all of the items that I had ordered were very well packed and accompanied by complete diagrams and instructions. This repair could not have gone any better! The order was processed faster than I had expected and the tracking of my order was extremely accurate. I will absolutely order parts again for any of my power tools as needed.

I read the instructions that came with the kit. And now I have a new compressor

Removed compressor covers and removed cylinder head. Removed connecting rod and installed new connecting rod and cylinder.

Replaced connecting rod, piston, and screw. The kit included instructions that did help.

I took a guess that the cylinder ring and cylinder where worn a little and I was getting blow-by.
When the kit arrived, it had an instruction manual that helped out doing the repair. I guessed right. The compressor is working like new now.

took compressor apart disassembled compressor head and found piston gasket was worn and needed to be replaced changed it out and reassembled compressor

as instructed in booklet and internet

Removed motor housing from pancake compressor tank. opened motor housing. unscrewed head on motor and rod assembly from motor. Replaced with new rod assembly and reconnected.
Very easy repair. Biggest problem was realigning the plastic motor housing together.
You definitely need a 7/32 bit for a socket set to remove the rod assembly.

Removed compressor from tank and followed instructions for removing old parts and assembled new parts as instruction sheet said.
