Flex L1106

[John Hager]

Does anyone know how to separate the armature/pinion from the gear housing on a Flex L1106VE? Most grinders can be pulled apart by hand at this point, but the Flex is proving very stubborn. Is there a retaining ring, pressed bearing, etc.?

Hi John,

There is a plate that holds the armature to the gearbox. The plate is item #3 on the parts breakdown. It is held in place by the screws #16 on the breakdown. remove the two screws and the armature will release from the gearbox.

Good luck with your repair!
