Replace brushes in Porter Cable Router.
Remove the old brush caps with a screw driver, then remove the brushes. Install the new brushes in the brush holders Challenge getting the brush assembly to stay " down" or "in" until the new brush caps can get placed properly to engage threads. Persistence paid off.

Bought Porter Cable 690 Series router "at an auction that "wouldn't start".
Saw a 690 Series Porter Cable router at an auction that wouldn't start. Noticed that it was missing carbon brushes and caps. Replaced them and boom, it started. Thus, was able to get a router, plunge router accessory, and another adjustable base for $80.00. Was able to use your site to identify the correct replacement parts, install them and obtain an excellent tool for a boat load of savings.

Tools Used:
Screwdriver, Pliers, Wire strippers, crimp wire lug, crimp wire connector
Cord had been cut and one brush was chipped
I ordered a new cord and a set of brushes for my router. Instead of replacing the cord I made it a foot shorter. I had to remove the head cap of the router and remove the switch and the variable speed control. I stripped the cord wires at the end and used the new rubber cord guard I had purchased as the old one was damaged. I threaded the cord wires through the flexible rubber guard and attached the shorter cord as it was before. I had to crimp a lug on one wire and I had to use a capped crimp to join two other wires. The router worked fine with the chipped brush so now I have a new factory cord and a set of brushes in stock for future repairs.

Question: Router Brushes
1304274
How do you replace router burshes

Hello 1304274,
You will need to remove the 803483 Brush Cap. It is better to use a larger screw driver to remove this. Don't put to much pressure on the cap when unscrewing it, they have a tendency to break. Once you have it off, notice how the brush is situated in the brush holder. Sometimes you can remove them by hand or you can use a small screw driver to pull the old brush out. Once the brush is out make sure there isn't any debris in the brush holder. Then just replace the brushes as they were. And you should be ready to go.
