Got a side grinder that uses 4.5" cuttoff wheels.
The one on there now is worn way down. I've got a pack of new ones. The problem is that I don't clearly see the way to put a new one on. I know it has to be fairly simple, but there are several possible things for me to try to turn to get the wheel loose. There is a gizmo in the front center of the wheel with four small holes spaced around it. Looks like something that would take a quad spanner if this is to be turned. I do have a button on the grinder that locks the shaft, so that's good. Between the wheel and grinder body there is an approx .5 dia shaft with two opposed flat spots that looks like maybe it's for a real thin open end wrench. I don't have an open end wrench that will go between the grinder body and wheel, nor do I have a 4 prong spanner. Before I go to Home Depot and Lowes on the hunt for something, I need to know what I'm going for. Is it a 4 prong spanner? Or a thin open end wrench I need? Or what? |
