Has anyone else had problems with the OEM backplate replacements shearing off?
I went through two of these in three months with no idea on how this occurred. My Flex is only four years old and the original backplate that came with it lasted over three years. I ordered them from Chemical Guys and they assured me that these were OEM so now I am contacting FLEX North America for advise.
Has anyone greased the gear in theirs? I have been wondering this as the piece that holds the washer and screw get extremely hot. I wonder if the center is getting overheated however this should not occur as I do see grease around the gear, just not a whole lot. If anyone has a new one can you look to see if its greased more than what you see in my photos here.
