Jarrod 22 Report post Posted February 28, 2006 My spray bar on my Big Guy is locking up. I can free it by manually turning it, but I know it will lock up for good soon. I guess I need a new rotary head or (swivel). I found 1 site that sells'em for $299.00! Holy crap! Does anyone know where I can get this part cheaper? BTW, the site is http://www.cmcpwe.com/whisperwashparts.html Maybe it's a good price, I don't know. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squirtgun 122 Report post Posted February 28, 2006 I spoke with the owner of this company about a year ago.They used to let you send your swivel in for rebuild $95...not sure if they still do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One Tough Pressure 580 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 Seems silly that they do not have their phone number on their site. What is the big secret. I use Mosmatic Carbide swivels that take some serious abuse and still run like new. You can get them from Bab at Pressure Tek and they were less than what that site is charging the last time I got one. Best part is that Bob is very knowledgeable and you can get him on the phone just about every time you call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R. Williamson 14 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 Those bearings are standard size. Pull apart the swivel and go to your local NAPA store. If they dont have them in stock they can have them fast. Or go to mcmastercarr.com. If you need a seal kit there less than $50.00. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarrod 22 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 Thanx, I'll try that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wesley 15 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 Jarrod, take the bearings out. You will have to knock them off a small shaft, be careful not to damage anything. Once you get them off, clean them up and you will see a number on the side of the bearing. Take them to a local bearing distributor and he will look at the number and for about $46 a piece you will up and running in no time. Rebuild kits from the surface cleaner manufactures are such ripoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
