Polisher Needle Bearing For Pol05

Extra Information

Typical symptoms that a needle bearing needs attention include knocking or rumbling noises from the head, play that you can feel when rocking the pad sideways, or a rough spot when you turn the spindle by hand with the tool unplugged. Because the bearing carries high loads in a small footprint, it is especially important to replace it as soon as wear becomes noticeable.

The POL05-13 bearing is built specifically for the Tork Craft POL05 polisher, so the internal clearance, width and diameter are all correct for the original design. Using a genuine bearing helps the gearbox run as intended, which is vital for delivering a smooth, predictable feel on modern clear coats and sensitive surfaces.

Pro Tip

Pro Tip: When changing the POL05-13 needle bearing, always clean out old grease and debris from the gearbox first. Use proper pullers and press tools to remove and install the bearing without damaging the shaft or housing, then apply fresh, suitable grease before closing the box. After reassembly, run the POL05 at low speed with no load and listen for a clean, even gear note before putting it back into full-duty work.

Benefits

• Reduces vibration and gearbox harshness caused by a worn bearing.

Safety

• Always unplug the polisher from the mains before opening the gearbox or working on internal parts.
• Allow the tool to cool down fully before handling gears, bearings and housings.
• Use suitable pullers and press tools when removing and installing needle bearings.
• Ensure all circlips, spacers and covers are correctly refitted before testing.
