I have searched and searched and cant find what I am looking for. I have a Yamaha 15inch surface cleaner for a pressure washer.
I started getting a pin-stream out of the middle so i took it apart.

2 of the plastic bearings are fine but one of them was shredded (there are 3, this is the one that seems to press against the outer portion of the spinning portion.

I just dont want to have to buy a whole new thing for one little part.

the cleaner in question

Age old story of "You get what you pay for". What did you expect out of a pressure washer attachment that cost under $100 and has plastic bearings????

Look around for steel bearings and replace them with that is my only advice.

I expected something that would work decent for a small driveway and have parts id be able to repair.
Apparently, if you put grease in the spinning attachment form time to time it helps a lot, but i learned that after the fact.

Dang thing could have also gotten abused when i lent it to someone.

Hell, I can relate to that. I've lent tools out to friends over the years and have gotten them back in a not so good condition afterwards. Those that abuse my tools never see them again.

Look on McMaster Carr for the right sized bearing

It's made by Yamaha so I would expect it to last at least 20 years

Hydro quip in Baton Rouge makes pressure washers and surface cleaners. Maybe you can call them and explain your problem. If it’s a standard size they might have the part you need.
