my porter cable squeeks when i turn it off as it is slowing down. has anyone ever opened it up and replaced the bushings? if so, is it hard? i might do this tomorrow. thanks!
 
I don't think you can replace the bushings yourself..... someone correct me if I'm wrong. Are you maybe thinking of replacing the brushes in the electric motor? I don't think replacing those would help any squeaking.



Personally I'd take it to an authorized repair center and see what they say about it or if you can do it yourself or not.
 
I believe the manual mentions returning it to an authorized PC repair center every X hours for service. I'd bet that includes brushes.
 
Yeah, brushes...I keep calling them bushing for some odd reason.



Yeah, it says every 100 hours. I might have to do that soon them.
 
Brushes have nothing to do with squeaking. Mine squeakes a bit also when I turn it off. My PC router does a similiar thing. When it turns to a grinding sound I'll take it in. I'm hoping it's just inherent with the machine and not a sign of serious wear.
 
I am thinking that I am going to call and see what they will charge to service it. I will let you guys know if I get an answer.
