Midwest RDH Prophy Nosecone Repair 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Disassembly (Note: Complete Nose Assembly is now 

available, part# 40534. $119ea. As of 10/2011) 

 

STEP 1 

Insert a 9/16” Collet into your table mounted 
collet holder.  Next, insert the handpiece threads 
into the collet and secure.  Then, wrap the upper 
portion (Nose section) of the RDH with a strip of 
Gum Rubber (00032).  Once tight, slowly jiggle 
the nose section while also pulling up.  This 
should release the nose section from the main 
RDH Body. 
 

 
 

 

STEP 2 

Insert your 00014 MW Nosecone wrench 
into the opening on the bottom of the nose 
section.  The two teeth on the wrench will 
exactly match the notches in the internal 
nosecone nut.  Pushing hard into the nut, 

unscrew in a conventional counter-
clockwise motion.  This will allow you 
to remove the internal nosecone main 
spindle assembly.
