UDM problem, can I fix it myself?

**Scottwax** · 03-24-2008, 01:29 PM

The clip that holds the backing plate assembly is AWOL so the backing plate won`t stay on the UDM unless I am holding it against the car. Is this something I can get the part for and replace myself or should I send it in for repair (and maybe updated brushes-occasionally I smell a burning smell but it still works fine).

Scott, send it back for warranty replacement. The burning smell is the first sign it`s going i think. You know DB and Lynn will hook you up because their customer service is number one in my book :up with a replacement fast......P.S. it also depends when you got yours.

ive been smelling a burning smell since i got the replacement UDM, and there was also a surge of power the first day i used it...

however, it was worked fine since, the smell has remained, and im worried it will die on me during a job...

depressing.. is there anyway we can mod a cooling device onto the thing? UDM can`t be making any money replacing these things over and over..

Scott, if the C clip is missing, then the whole bearing assy should be replaced. Send it back and we`ll replace it with a fresh refurb.
