How to Replace Pinion Gear for T-REX™ with 1/2 HP Motor
Does not apply to T-REX™ Jr.
Step 1: Remove the four bolts holding the
transmission and motor together.
Step 2: Pull the motor o the transmission. You
can use a rubber mallet to loosen the seal if
necessary (Figure A).
Step 3: Use a Phillips head screwdriver to
unscrew the 6 screws on the transmission cap
(Figure B). Remove the transmission cap.
Step 4: Remove the broken pinion gear.
Step 5: Install the new pinion gear (Part # H129)
by inserting the gear side into the space beside
the large transmission gear. Use the existing
grease inside the transmission to lube the
pinion gear (Figure C). Twist the pinion gear to
make sure the gears are aligned. You should
see the large gear spin a little (Figure D).
Step 6: Make sure the wave washer is centered
on the bearing for the large gear (Figure E). Line
up the pins on the transmission casing with the
holes on the transmission cap and tap the cap
into place (Figure F). The transmission should
be on a surface that allows the threaded shaft
on the bottom to hang free so that it doesn’t
push back up against the cap as you’re trying
to tap the cap back on (Figure G).

Step 7: Replace the screws with a Phillips
screwdriver. The longer screw goes in the hole
in the motor cavity.
Step 8: Twist the pinion gear by hand to make
sure it is aligned properly. You will see the
bearing for the main gear spin slightly.
Step 9: Match the locking key on the motor
shaft to the key slot on the transmission and
slide the motor back in place (Figure H). Line
up the bolt holes and make sure the power
cord is coming out the back.

Motor Carbon Brushes
The DC motors on the T-REX™, and T-REX™ Jr. models have carbon brushes. These carbon brushes
will wear with time and usage. It is important that the brushes be replaced at the rst signs of wear.
If the brushes wear out and let the commutator and armature come in contact, it can cause costly
damage to the speed control board used in the machine.
Signs of Brush Wear
• On-and-o cycling. If motor begins to cycle, as if turning on-and-o rapidly, the brushes are likely
worn.
• Shaking, banging, or slapping sound from motor.
• Sparks and/or smoke from motor.
• Marked decrease in power of motor.
In any of these cases, replace the brushes immediately.
Replacement Carbon Brushes
• T-REX™: Part # C311-BMK
• T-REX™ Jr.: Part # C311B-BMK
