Makita 256486-8 Spare Part - SHOUDER PIN 4 9553-9558NB

Genuine Makita 256486-8 — Shoulder Pin (Ø 4 mm)

Keep your Makita angle grinder running like new with the original Makita shoulder pin 256486-8. This small, precision‑machined shoulder/locating pin (Ø 4 mm) is made to the same specification as the factory part and secures and positions internal gearbox/guard components so the head assembly runs true and without excess play. It restores proper alignment where a worn, bent or missing pin is causing vibration, rattling or poor fit of mating parts.
