Replace Stripped Fitting and Bearing
Gentlemen:
The same day that your package of parts arrived in the mail, I was able to install the bushing?(part no 27) and bearing on my Bosch 3283DVS orbital sander. The only special tool that I used was a snap ring pliers to remove the retaining snap ring. In place of a special wheel puller, I removed the old bushing and bearing together by inserting a long threaded bolt into the bushing, and inserted the head of the bolt into a slot in one end of flat pry bar. I then struck down (away from the unit) on the exposed length of the pry bar, removing the bushing and bearing in one piece.
The new bushing, bearing and retaining screw all fit perfectly, and my 15 year old Bosch orbital sander is humming away like new!
Thank you for your valuable repair parts service.
