This #191938-1 (CB-408) Makita carbon brush set contains two individual carbon brushes with wire leads and brush springs attached. The set contains genuine Makita replacement parts, and comes packaged in a Makita retail box. This brush set will fit the Makita tools listed at the bottom of the page. • Worn brushes are often the cause of a poorly running motor • Replacing brushes can fix an intermittent motor • New brushes can restore a motor's electric braking Carbon motor brushes are one of the most commonly replaced power tool components. Because carbon brushes are wear items, meaning that through friction and use they will gradually wear away, they will eventually require replacement. Worn brushes are common causes of intermittent motor function, reduced electric braking, and reduced motor power. A worn out brush will often be worn down near the wire lead and may be cracked, pitted, or burned. When replacing carbon brushes, be sure to also inspect your armature for burns, cracks, or other damage which indicates a larger motor problem.

Great service
The parts I purchased from eraplacementparts brought my makita beltsander back to life. This was my favorite beltsander and has been a discontinued model for several years now. It's great to have a source for hard to find parts. I'm a woodworker and always have power tool that need repair. I'll definitely be back. Thank you for your help and speedy service.

Using a flat head screwdriver, remove the brush caps, then remove the old brushes. You may want to blow out the brush holders and clean the edges of them so the brushes will slide easily. Then install the new brushes and replace the brush caps.
Carbon brushes had worn out. I have had this Makita for 15 years. I was easy to install by taking the screws on one side out, take the two screws for the brushes out and install the new ones.
