Thank you very much! I try to speed it up so people don’t get too bored during the boring parts (like I do lol) I’m glad you were able to fix up your sander too! Cheers from lil rhody

I was planning on doing something like that but when I got to that part of the sander I saw that my rollers were not awful and just needed to be cleaned and regreased, hope you were able to get something outa this video though

Nicole thanks babe ❤️❤️

Awesome man good luck! If you have any questions feel free to ask and I’ll try to help out

@@labellesworkshop Thank you, will do!

The Grove thanks buddy! Glad you enjoyed even though you're not into tools like me ❤️😁

No problem! I’m glad it could help, thanks for the nice comment 👍🏻

Anytime

I think a bearing puller might work, however I dont have one of those so I used pry bars on each side and gently pried (applying equal force on each side) to nudge it off. There was also a small opening behind the disk in the plastic shroud, I used a punch and hammer to smack the backside of the sanding disk a couple times (rotating it between hits so it doesnt jam up on one side) - take the sandpaper disk off if you havent

hope that helps, and if you have any other questions feel free to ask :)

Thanks for the speedy reply. I did manage to remove the Allen screw, so technically, with enough finesse and silicone spray, this wheel should come off. Yes? When I peeled off the sandpaper, I saw what looks like an Allen screw, but isn't. You punched this in because you could not undo the Allen screw behind the shroud? I'm retackling this right now.

Huzzah!! A punch resting on the top of the housing and put through the top of the slot of the plastic shroud did it! Again, thanks. More later. Guido

@@guidof6637 fantastic! good luck with the fun stuff inside!

I’d honestly try to get inside it and tighten all the nuts and bolts that hold it together, clean dust out of the crevices, and add grease/oil where needed

There’s a couple of websites that sell parts for tools, I’m sure you knew that already. I was lucky enough to have spare parts lying around the shop that my dad purchased but never got around to installing. Good luck man 👍🏻

Yea I’ve had mine stall out too, only thing that sucks

they are a bit underpowered, but using the right grits on the belt/disc is critical, too....part of the over-all design flaw, is the time/difficulty to switch these out.....

My dad had purchased the parts a good time ago so I’m not exactly positive, however I’m sure sites like www.ereplacementparts.com/ should have what you’re looking for

Keep the machine running and adjust the tensioner? That’s how I got mine to track… if that doesn’t work maybe the mechanism that does the tracking is loose. The reason I did this rebuild was because I got this machine used and wanted to replace and maintain the most common problem areas 👍🏻

Let me know if you have any other questions, thanks for the comment and good luck with your machine 👍🏻👍🏻

I first used a hammer to gently tap around the outside of the disk to disturb it a little. I then used a set of small thin pry bars to get underneath the disk on each side and then gently worked at it until it came off. It was not easy at all, but completely doable

Like LaBelle's said, I tapped mine with a hammer. I actually tapped the disc on further to break it free then used small pry bar to work it out. I switched sides as I brought it out. I put some wax on the shaft to make it easier to slide on and off next time.

Mike Kralj good point on the wax

@@labellesworkshop I also had a problem getting the disc off the shaft, even using lubricants and pry bars. I then saw a tip on another video that suggested using two 1/4 x20 threaded bolts about 3 inches long and gradually screwing them into the two tapped holes on the disc. Sure enough by screwing the bolts into the disc, they eventually reach the drum and begin to push the disc off the shaft. Worked perfectly. Also thanks for posting this video. Its very helpful as I rebuild my sander.

@@DaMaxchi Thanks very much for this tip. Granted, it punches a couple of holes through the drive pulley, but I think it will handle that, and if not, I will just get a new one. But that tip got me right where I needed to be, and got that blasted disc off of there. I had only been fighting it with every took I had with absolutely no success for about 45 minutes! Putting it back on will be NO issue at all. It was interesting, I found out that what I thought was a bad bearing was actually a 4/5ths stripped toothed belt. Not so toothed anymore. Got a few on order ( I have another of this same sander with the same issue) and this will be a problem of the past. Thanks again!

Thanks for the constructive criticism, I truely do appreciate your format. I've never been a cheery person, so there's not much I can do for monotone voiceover (apologies). As for the video being too fast, this project was mostly just cleaning up the parts and then regreasing/ replacing them. The description section has a written version of almost everything I did if the video doesn't have it shown clearly. Thank you again for you comment, hope I addressed everything well enough 👌🏻👍🏻

What was too fast

@@labellesworkshop I could hardly see what you were doing

@@randyraynard6254 is there a specific question you had or
