Carbon Brush and Spring (2 Required)

This part includes one carbon brush with spring. Two of these brushes are needed in most models, and we recommend replacing them both at the same time, as they tend to wear at the same rate. A worn brush often affects the performance of the motor, and that is usually the first indication that a replacement is needed. For this repair, you will need to use a screwdriver to remove the brush cap which holds the brushes in place. To install, align the new brush with the holder and insert it by aligning the wings with the sides of the holder. Press the brush into the holder and secure the cap back on. Never over-tighten the cap, as this could break it. These steps will need to be repeated on the other side for the second brush.
