    How do I change the backing plate on the griots 6 inch polisher. Mine didn`t come with a wrench or anything.

    No wrench? I`d call Griot`s and ask for one.



    The big thing is that the wrenches for polishers are *very* thin (stamped out of sheet stock) to fit in under the plate. Going off to Sears probably wouldn`t work out well as you`d have to grind a normal wrench down a *LOT* to get it to fit.



    I bet Griot`s would be happy to correct their oversight and send you one.

    Your Griot`s Garage polisher should have came with a wrench when you bought it. Get ahold of them and let them know you didn`t receive one and I`m sure they will send one right out to ya.
