Air Motor Repair
If the vanes need replacing, or if foreign material is
present in the motor chamber, an experienced
mechanic may remove the end plate opposite the drive
shaft end. Do not pry with a screwdriver. It will dent the
surface of the plate and body, causing leaks. Use a
puller tool, which will remove the end plate while
maintaining the position of the shaft.
New vanes should have the edges with cut corners (or
the notched edges, if the vanes are reversible) pointing
toward the bottom of the vane slot.

Clean the Shaft

Every week, clean any dried fluid from around the
bearing (38) area of the shaft (14).
