Question: Sander Pad
1324848
How do you replace this pad?
Hello 1324848,
This is a description of how one of our customers removed the 196905-1 Sander Pad (Hook & Loop).
The PAD; this model requires an allen wrench to remove the one (1) center machine screw. Then pry off the pad. It is an interference fit. I wedged a screwdriver between the pad and sander body and tapped the screwdriver\'s end with a hammer all around the pad to do this. Be patient. Dust off everything. Then using a small block of scrap wood on the face of the pad, tap-hammer the new pad onto the shaft and install the machine screw. The pad will self level when tapped onto the shaft and the wood block will protect the hook surface. Hope this helps.
