My DA quit on me the other day and was wondering if any of you guys have put a tune up kit in one before? I have found the kits and installer kits both. Do I need the install kit? Any advice would be great.
If it is a newer one the drop in motor is a snap to change,you can be up and running in about 5 mins.The bottom bearing is usually the one that craps out on the dynabrade,I just pull it apart and go down to the automotive parts store or bearing place(transmission rebuilder supply) and match it up and it’s good as new.
Here is a link that helped me rebuild mine a couple of years ago
http://www.waterfront-woods.com/Projects/airsander.htmli have done the rebuild kit at least 3 or 4 times on my da’s and also did one on my air buffer. piece of cake to do and no big deal but jayson is right that its much faster for the drop in motor. probably more pricy though. its 5 min compared to 20. i have done it enough where i can do it in 10. i wetsand with mine so that bottom bearing goes or the veins can wear out as well. i refuse to oil any of my tools. i would rather rebuild or buy new than have a fish eye problem spewing oil over the shop.
Ok thanks guys. Does the drop in motor require a bearing change or is it a complete assembly?
No it is a complete assembly.
