remove the 4 torx screws at the end of the motor assembly and remove the whole clutch assemblydo not worry the assembly cimes apart easily and the carrier is right there if the prongs are broken on either end of the carrier is if bad and causing your proble replace it and put the grinder back together carefully being carefule to allign the forks on the carrier to the motor assembly .
you just remove the old carrier and drop the new one into the clutch assembly forks and as putting it back together slowly turn the spindle to align the carrier prongs and it will go together very easily replace the 4 torx screws and you are all set to go again

Hello 1116713,

You may want to remove the 315415710 spindle head, and inspect the bearings inside to see if they are not defective. Also check the 341160960 spindle to see if the bearings are tight on the spindle. Look at the 339038180 ring, and make sure it is not loose in the housing also.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the reply.

I did check the spindle head and all looks ok.

I think the problem is here Field Coil 120V
Part Number: 311009760. It is a bit loose inside. This is the part holding it ( spindle side ) Baffle
Part Number: 339150880. I wonder if there's something wrong with it. I did place 2 O rings on each leg end so it can push/ hold the Field Coil better. Seems to be working OK now as noise is gone even when I trun the grinder around. I'm just not happy that it needs to be done on a brand new grinder. Is there something else I'm missing here. Will replacing Baffle
Part Number: 339150880 solve the problem without the need to add O rings. tks
