, Allen wrench
1. Removed old hook and loop pad with allen wrench.
2. Replaced the failed friction ring. No tools required.
3. Installed new hook and loop pad with allen wrench.
It is useful to blow the sander clear of dust outside before replacing the parts.
An easy repair. Can't believe I waited until the hook and loop pad was shot before I replaced the friction ring. The sander works like new again!

Sander pad missing, friction ring damaged, hex-socket head-cap screw broken off in driver
Phillip - May 26, 2023
Tool Type
Sander
Difficulty
Medium
Time
More than 2 hours
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Power Drill, Wrench Set, small star-drive bits needed
1. The hard part was drilling out the broken hex-socket head-cap screw. I did that with a metal-compatible drill bit to start a hole, using lubricant, followed by a left-hand screw extractor bit. It takes patience to do this; this is a blind bolt, with no access to the inside end.
2. The entire tool can be easily disassembled with small star-drive bits (I used an iFixit electronics repair kit--the basic one); and a Philips screwdriver. I took it apart both for repair access and to clean it. If you're just replacing the sander pad you will not need to do any disassembly. You may be able to replace a friction ring without taking off the piece to which it attaches--not sure on that, but if you have to remove it, it's just three or four small Philips screws. The friction ring just fits over a flange on the black plastic piece.
3. My sander was caked with epoxy dust so I thoroughly cleaned all of it with an old toothbrush, toothpick, and shopvac.
4. Be aware that if you pull out the armature, you won't be able to get it back in past the motor brushes without removing the top housing of the tool and temporarily unscrewing the brush housings to pull back the brushes. This is easy. It also allows you to check the condition of the brushes and clean any dust off them and the armature, which could accelerate wear.
5. It's easy to re-assemble the tool using the exploded-parts diagram as a guide. Make sure to do it in order or you'll have to take it back apart if you forget a step.
6. The new hex-socket head-cap screw will need to be tightened quite firmly or it will back itself out quickly on high speed, especially if you have lubricated the threads.

Sander stopped working and Hook & Loop pad was worn out.

Time

Tools Used
, Star drive bit , wire stripper , crimping tool.
Unplug machine, look inside to assess problem. Mine showed melting of the trigger switch/power wire connection. Note location of all wires before disassembling. remove four wires and inspect...the melted one may need to be cleaned up. While machine is open, it's a good time to blow out all dust/clean with compressed air. Insert splices on two incoming power wires and reattach all four wires in original locations. Reassemble in reverse order.
Remove old pad by taking out one bolt. remove old friction ring (note orientation and just pull it off ) install new ring and sanding pad in reverse order.
Test your repair and have fun ! I have a sander that's good as new.
