For those who can follow a text walk through:
Things you need:
Masking tape
Antislip drawer liner
Two pairs of vice grips
Glue
Patience and time
1. remove grip from machine
2. remove both rubber o-rings from machine
3. wrap the flat section between the o-ring slots tightly with drawer liner
4. wrap several layers (10-15) of masking tape tightly around the liner
5. on the mid section of the body wrap the same way
6. using vice grips on the tape loosen the dive bar mechanism from the body
7. do not remove it entirely yet
8. wrap the upper section of the body the same way as the other two
9. loosen the middle section from the upper section
10. by hand remove the dive bar mechanism
11. remove middle part of body
12. you should now see the motor shaft and bearing assembly
13. pull the bearing assembly off of the shaft
14. clean the motor's shaft and the hole in the bearing assembly with alcohol
15. place a small drop of glue to a toothpick and use the toothpick to apply a small amount INSIDE the TOP of the bearing assembly
letting a small amount run down the hole
16. press bearing assembly back onto shaft
17. Clean excess glue from the top of the shaft let dry 24 hours
18. Screw the middle section of the body back onto the machine and tighten
19. (the tricky part) start the dive bar mechanism back into the machine
once you have a couple threads in, plug machine up and start it (this is a MUST)
20. While running screw the drive bar assembly all the way in
21. turn machine off and tighten all components
You can use threadlocker (blue) during reassembly. Do not use red.
While you are at it, use some superlube to lube the drive bar assembly
Tips: When wrapping the masking tape, pull it as tight as you can.
Masking tape and antislip provide protection from scratches, do not skip this if you want your machine pretty
when setting tightness on vice grips, only apply enough pressure to grip the body, too tight and you'll warp the body or crush it.
Use common sense, I am not responsible for your actions. If you aren't sure you can do this, don't try.
If you would like me to do it for you message me at [email protected] with repair request as subject.
