I have a Porter Cable 352VS Type 4 sander needs bearings.

I have a Porter Cable 352VS Type 4 sander which is in need of bearings. I can not tell how to remove the pinion gear (695738). I tried using a small pulley puller and it broke the plastic flange off. I do not see any type of set screw or snap ring. I did notice the pinion gear did wear into and melt plastic on the belt cover.

    Though I appreciated the quick feedback It was not accurate. The Porter Cable 352VS Type 4 sander does not have a pressed on pinion. In fact the pinion is a cast metal, very weak (I initially thought it was plastic). However it could be made of steel and if you use a puller on it even a "special puller", it will break!
    The pinion #695738 is threaded on. Further more it is a left handed thread.

    Replaced mine today if I had known all this I would not have broken mine trying to use a puller.

You need special pullers for these, you will have to take it to a power tool repair shop.

Please help me find a free owners manual for my porter cable 352vs belt sander
The ServiceNet site has the manual for most Porter Cable power tools here: http://servicenet.portercable.com/ . The 352VS documentation is here: http://servicenet.portercable.com/Products/Detail/352VS . Look in the right hand column for the Instruction Manual; you'll see an option to download a PDF or have the manual sent by email. However, you need to look at the sander and attempt to find the Type number. This will be on the label with the model and serial number. There are 7 different belt sanders that were released with the 352VS model number. Use this number to get the details for your sander. The direct link to the manual for the Type 1 version, today, is http://servicenet.portercable.com/Products/GetDocument?docName=EnA00111.pdf&productId=55856&productType=12187&documentId=32863&translatedFileName=http://documents.dewalt.com/documents/English/Instruction%20Manual/Porter-Cable/EnA00111.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Porter cable 352vs manual
My Porter Cable 352vs Belt Sander was clogged from sanding epoxy, wet wood, something like that. No dust collection at all.
I had to remove 4 screws on the housing, one screw under the front handle and another below the rear handle. The housing came out very easily (with a little wiggle). Pay very close attention to where the position of your plastic fan housing sits. It will only be installed in one spot.
http://www.ereplacementparts.com/images/porter_cable/352_TYPE_1.pdf
The pdf diagram was not exactly correct on the housing placement.
Once opened, The wood and epoxy were caked in everyplace. I brushed them out and replaced the screws.

Good as new.

Good luck.

Have a porter cable 352vs 3"x21" belt sander. was using it and blue sparks started occuring in the rotor and brush assembly. kept using as I needed to try and finish my project. No longer...
this tool has various type numbers but I checked on the type 5-6 and came up with the same number. the brush number I found is NO30461 and they run from around 3.50 to 4.00 each. If you have removed the brushes if the spring is burnt/collapsed it could have been from a loose brush cap or worse an armature problem. Before I sent it out for repair I would look at the brushes, UNPLUG tool first and remove them after removing look into the brush holder and see if the commutator (part of armature you can see) and see if it is discolored or other obvious imperfections. You can buy replacement brushes online from "ereplacementparts.com" or direct from "dewaltservicenet.com". Let me know if you need more assistance before voting and thank you.

After installing new belt, on Porter Belt Sander 352VS #6 the belt drifts of to one side until it comes completely off. How do I stop this?
There is a tracking adjustment knob on the side of the sander--adjust one way or the other until it tracks properly. This is something that will change by itself as the sander is being used--check periodically.

How do you replace bearings on a porter cable 505 sander?
First I would go to Dewaltservicenet.com and in the middle of the site towards the bottom type in your model number. I found breakdown on page 8 unless it comes up faster. You will need a bearing puller or something similar because they are pressed on. It is really not that hard with the proper tools. Let me know and if I have answered your question would you please rate this response accordingly and Thank you.
