Product Description

?

Genuine Makita replacement part Set of 2 Carbon Brushes with wire lead attached. • 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.

Armature was missing a big section

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!
