    Changing edger wheels

    We are going to be changing our abrasive wheel to the Trivex Trio Superabrasive wheel. Do we need to call in a tech to do this or is there a way to get ahold of a Maxima manual to do it ourselves?

    should be user serviceable... you may have to pop cover off to hold the shaft from turning if its anything similar to my nidek

    This is a job that will often require a lot of effort if the present wheels have been in place for a long time.

    soak it in a penetrator if need be...just use a rag to catch the excess lubricant
