?

This is a genuine OEM sourced replacement part which is specially designed for Makita power tools. This is a complete assembly which is sold individually, keep in mind, it includes the armature, the fan, the armature bearing and the commutator end bearing. Due to constant contact with carbon brushes armature will eventually wear out and would need to be replaced to maintain peak performance.

Remove grinder head, remove brush cover, (1 screw at cord end) remove 10mm nut from head end. Remove both brushes. Install new armature, install grinder head, install new brushes, install brush cover. After all that, I turned on and it jerked 2 times, tried to start. But failed. I then removed brush cover & inspected brushes. I could see the brush holders were bent, possibly from hitting the old armature section. Slightly adjusted brush holders so brushes would contact armature all the way. Reinstalled & it worked great!

The grinder was overloaded on low voltage and overheated. The first thing I did was to determine if the grinder was worth fixing. I took the gear head apart to look at the gears. They looked perfect, so I proceeded with the repair.
1. Remove the end cap at the cord end.
2. Lift the brush spring off the brushes and extract and inspect the brushes. Looked good.
3. Remove 4 screws holding the gear case to the body, and pull the head and armature out.
4. Remove the nut hoding the spur gear on the armature and pull it from the case. The armature had small black holes in the windings where the smoke escaped. Inspect the field windings. Check for shorts between the wires and the case. None found. Looks like a good candidate for repair.
Order the parts (armature). Wait a few days for shippment, ressemble in reverse order.
Plug it in and look for more smoke. None found. Great inexpensive repair.
