    No lock or lock is broken? I remember an old grinder here that you had to get a wrench slid into the spindle to hold it and then unlock.

    You need 2 spanners, 1 to hold (under the disc) and one to open the top nut. This was the way on many makes before locks became common.

    Have you a link to them? I change discs regularly. Do they fit any grinder or just Bosch?

    What is the most common issue with these old Makitas? I have a unit (maybe 15 years old) that has recently stopped working. I'd say it hasnt 1 hour of work done since it was purchased. Is fuse the first port of call?
