Backing Plate Washer

[Partially Deaf]

Hey guys, I just got my PC today in the mail, and I was trying it out for the first time.



Anyways, I put on my 5 inch backing plate without realizing I needed to keep the washer on. I put the PC to the paint, and all of a sudden it stopped moving. I ended up grinding the metal studs on the back of the backing plate.



Since then, I noticed that the pads on my PC are not perfectly parallel with the machine, so I`m wondering if I could have somehow bent the connecting piece to the backing plate.



Has anybody else hear of this?



Thanks.

Update:



Ok so I took my PC to my local service center, and they acknowledged that there is a wobble in my machine.



They are going to look at it and try to fix it! They think that it is a bad bearing.



Hopefully I can get it back soon and continue to polish away

hope so too. polishing can be fun! Well especially when you have a garage to do it in.
