Tool Type
Sander
Difficulty
Easy
Time
Less than 15 minutes
Tools Used
Screwdriver, tweezers for placing shims
Parts Used
Used proper star bits to remove all screws, removing retainer ring around power cord, and carefully removing face-up cover.
Lifting entire tool holder gear and bearings out, collect the 4 C shaped shims.
Replace with new unit, fitting notches in top bearing, mesh gears, drop unit into handle.
With tweezers, place shims two on either side of lower bearing so that they remain
in place.
Make sure all parts are in proper position, replace handle cover and install all screws. Slip power cord retainer ring back onto the handle.
It's a good idea to survey the innards of the machine once you remove the cover so
as not to forget what goes where.

Parts Used
carefully remove right side of plastic tool body, lift out gear assembly, rubber exhaust duct comes with it. Remove four "C" shaped shims. Remove small bearing
at top of assembly. Bearing has two slots to secure seating in unit. For first timers, it pays to down load exploded diagram of unit as well as writing down each step of disassembly. Everything goes back in reverse order. Once assembly is back in place with rubber duct aligned, tweezers or small needle nose pliers can be used to re-insert "C" shims in place making sure all four are secured within the plastic housing above and below middle bearing with shim openings pointing downward. If slightly bent, to avoid
a leg on the shim catching on the housing, each can be flipped over to eliminate any protrusion. Carefully line up right tool cover with left side making sure all parts are properly seated. Without lifting tool, press together covers and place one screw in the nose area and one toward the rear. Tighten screws. Test run the sander. If it is running properly, install the rest of the screws and push collar at the cord end back onto the chassis.
Tool holding fixture has a bearing located within the triangular portion which seized up and melted the plastic.

2. Remove all screws with a T-20 torx bit. Remove ring where cord emerges from rear.
3. Carefully pry apart tool casing leaving the tool flat on table. Observe how assembly is placed.
4. Lift assembly from unit. Includes all parts mounted on shaft and rubber dust duct.
5. Collect all four shims. These will be re-installed on either side of center bearing.
6. Drop in new assembly with dust duct on assembly, other end of duct slides into handle.
7. Align top bearing slotted side down on shaft so it will drop into place.
8. Center bearing seats in a plastic cradle. With assembly firmly in place, install "C"
shaped shims against the bearing with a strong pair of tweezers, two above bearing and two below. Make sure shims are inside the cradle with the bearing. Most easily done if
inserted with open ends down, two at a time. If a shim is bent and presents an open lip
appearance, turn one shim around so the two press closed against each other. This will facilitate replacing the handle cover.
9. Check that all parts are properly seated.
10. Align right side handle placing dust duct in its slot.
11. Carefully press handle in place, making sure shims enter the opposing bearing cradle in the right side handle and the dust duct fits in its slot.
12. Re-install screws and retainer ring by the cord end.
It may take a couple of tries. You can download exploded diagram from Bosch.
