Shawn - August 14, 2022
Tool Type
Grinder
Difficulty
Easy
Time
15-30 minutes
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Needle nose pliers
Parts Used
1: Removed lower housing cover by removing the screw on the end of the grinder by the power cord.
2: Removed the screw holding the brush box to the frame. Keep the screw for a later step.
NOTE: **Screws are sold separate and not included with a new brush box**
3: Use needle nose pliers to firmly grip the 2 wires and detach them from the brush box
4: Remove and keep the spring from the brush box (reuse it on the new brush box in a later step)
NOTE: **The spring is sold separate and not included with a new brush box**
5: Attach the wire going to the motor to the middle brush box connector
6: Attach the wire for your new brush to the end connector on the brush box and slide your brush into the box
7: Attach the brush box in place of the one you removed with the screw you saved in step 2. Wires on the left and spring will be on the right
8: Insert the spring you saved from step 4 with the pointed end on the top and spin the spring counter-clockwise till it catches on the tab at the top of the brush box now giving you tension. Continue turning the bottom flat end of the spring counter-clockwise back around and rest it on the end of your brush holding it in the brush box.
NOTE: Repeat these steps on the other side to replace the box and/or brush. You want to replace both brushes at the same time. Its not required to replace the boxes unless they are damaged. Once you finish with the brush and/or brush boxes proceed to the final step 9
9) Slide the lower cover back over the housing being careful not to crimp the power cord sliding through it. Now attach it firmly with the screw you saved from step 1 on the end of the unit by the power cord. You completed the repair.
