- Check that there is appropriate pressure on the brush spring. Using a spring pressure indicator, push the brush into the brush holder until its tip protrudes 2 mm (0.0787 in). Then measure the pressure of brush spring. If the pressure is 1.7 N (173 g, 6.11 oz) or less, replace the brush spring with a new part. 4.1 - 5.3 N (418 - 540 g 14.75 - 19.06 oz) pressure is required on the new spring.
