This guide will require you to first follow the steps to disassemble the sander pad as well as the dust seal/ brake. You will then have to disassemble the outer guard to access the fan in order for it to be replaced.
-
-
When changing the sander pad, be sure to rotate the sander upside down so the pad and three highlighted screws are facing upward toward you.
-
Once the sander is upside down begin by removing your old sandpaper.
-
Once the sandpaper is removed locate the three screws on your sander pad.
-
-
-
Remove the three, (star bolt) screws with the iFixit screw driver with a "T20" head. Be sure to hold the pad of the sander as it will rotate as you try to loosen the screws.
-
Once the screws are removed pull upward toward you and the sander pad will come apart from the device.
-
-
-
Once the sander pad is removed and the sander is exposed locate the white plastic like circular piece surrounding the outside of the sander.
-
-
-
Once you have located the plastic white ring pull up its outer edge as shown. The lip on the inside will bend and be freed from its secured placement.
-
-
-
Once the dust brake/ seal is removed locate the screw in the center of the device holding down the bearing and fan assembly.
-
unscrew this bolt using a T20 star bit and carefully remove the washer and bearing as shown.
-
-
-
Next locate the bolts holding down the guard assembly as shown. There will be one bolt on each side, two in total.
-
Using a T15 star bit unscrew these bolts and make sure you keep them in a safe place.
-
-
-
Once the two screws are removed locate the o-ring that seals the dust collector to its opening.
-
Very delicately pry the o-ring out of its slot using a nylon spudger or plastic opening tool. Then roll it off of the opening as shown.
-
-
-
The fan can then simply be pulled from its axle and be replaced with the fan blades facing up.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
