Tork Craft POL04 motor running cool, smooth and supported with this dedicated armature rear bearing and baffle service kit. \r\nThe rear bearing supports the armature at the handle end of the motor, while the baffle helps channel cooling air and protect the windings from dust and debris.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nWhen these parts wear or deform, you may notice extra noise, shaft play, roughness and higher running temperatures. \r\nThe POL04-SK08 kit replaces the rear bearing and baffle together (items 32–35 on the parts diagram), restoring the correct support and airflow so your polisher can deliver reliable performance in busy workshops, panel shops and detailing bays.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003csection\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- Features

baffle need attention include increased motor noise from the handle end, a rough or “gritty” feel when the spindle is turned by hand, excessive brush wear, or a polisher that runs hotter than usual during normal work. \r\nIf you can feel play when you move the shaft side-to-side near the rear of the motor, the rear bearing is often due for replacement.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\nBecause the rear of the motor draws in cooling air, the baffle and surrounding area are exposed to dust and compound from daily polishing work. \r\nRefreshing the rear bearing and baffle with the POL04-SK08 kit, together with a careful clean-out of dust and debris, helps the polisher breathe properly again and supports long-term reliability.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- Pro Tip --\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003ePro Tip\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"tip-products\"\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003ePro Tip: \u003c\/strong\u003eWhen rebuilding the rear of the motor with the POL04-SK08 kit, take the time to blow out or vacuum loose dust from the stator and motor housing. \r\nUse suitable pullers and press tools to remove and install the rear bearing without striking the shaft, and make sure the new baffle sits squarely in place before closing the housing. \r\nAfter assembly, run the POL04 at low speed with no load to check for a smooth motor note and reduced vibration before putting it back into full-duty service.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSafety\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- Safety --\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003eSafety\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eAlways unplug the polisher from the mains before opening the motor housing or working on internal components.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eAllow the tool to cool down fully before handling bearings, baffles and wiring.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eUse correct tools to remove and install bearings – do not hammer directly on the armature shaft or bearing races.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsure the new bearing and baffle are seated correctly and that the armature spins freely before closing the housing.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eTest the POL04 under no load after reassembly and only return it to normal use once you are satisfied with the sound, cooling airflow and feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eIf you are unsure about motor repairs, have the work carried out by a qualified technician or an approved service centre.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Saddle
