[5] Replacement of spindle
The spindle is pressed into the front casing. Pay attention to the following points when replacing the spindle.
a. Hold the worn spindle in one hand and hit the perimeter of the front casing (cast part) lightly and evenly with a
resin hammer to remove the spindle from the casing. In this step, never strike the seal surface of the front casing
or the spindle.
b. Wipe off the stains on the front casing. Then, insert a new spindle into the casing by hand and strike it gently
with the resin hammer to press it in.
* Do not disassemble the spindle section unless it is seriously worn and needs to be replaced.
* If the spindle does not come off easily, warm the front casing in hot water (about 90 ˚C) before pulling it out for
replacement.
* In the case of the MDF-L250, 401, 422, 423 and 425, the casing and the spindle are integrated. It is not possible to
replace only the spindle.
