Multi disc buffer plate

[jrunestrand]

I recently purchased an American Sanders multi disc buffer plate which I use for final sanding before finish...
Three of the discs have become locked and don't spin freely. Three discs do.
It's less than 1 year old and I've been told by an AS tech rep that I'll need to have the bearings replaced.
Has anyone had this problem? Is there a fix rather than sending the plate in for repair?

Order the parts and do it yourself.
