Parts Used
Disassembled the backup pad, and drive pad beneath to expose bearing. Removed bearing snap ring to remove worn out bearing and spindle. Cleaned, removed snap ring and re-used for reassembly of new parts, and reinstalled. Snap ring pliers needed to be the tiniest one made which I didn't have, so I used my grinder to grind off the end of the old spindle to remove. I would recommend that the 2 parts be sold as one assembly. If not make sure you order a new snap ring for spindle attachment to bearing. The large retainer snap ring for bearing can easily be re-used.
