At 7:23 you push the router down and through the electrical panel you removed you can see the top of the sanction (the plunge rods). There is a notch at the top of the shorter one. The bit you removed is a circlip that fits into that notch. Its designed to stop the router from coming apart from the plunge section. Its an easy fix. Open the electrical panel. Push the router down. Put the circlip in the notch. Close it all up.

Oops. I replied before watching your whole video. Glad you figured it out.

Enjoyed the watch also you learned something along the way and in the end it worked that was the point after all getting it working the way it was.

Using some very(!) sparse dry lube on the sliding tubes can be a goos idea. But do not oil the inside if there's a straight path "out". As that will keep leaking out forever, stain and ruin your work pieces so that spots and blotches won't take a stain or finish because there's oil soaked into the wood there.

Okie dokie. I actually busted the whole router eventually. Had to get a new one.

I have a similar router (powerplus 162x).I want to remove the springs in order to fit the router on a table with a lift. Springs are too strong for that. How did you manage to remove the columns from the router . At 3:26 you are hammering the base but then the video cuts and at 3:30 you show the removal of the body from the columns. Can you explain how you removed that? Thank you

My plunge router is also behaving a little stiffly. What was put together can be taken apart. Putting it back together can be the hard part...

Yep that is true, but I'm always afraid of breaking plastic parts when taking them apart. They often have those small clips holding them in their place and you can easily break them.

You can very often find service instructions or complete service manuals if you google the make, model number and "service manual" / service instructions. If available, reading the manual is usuallyna whole lot cheaper and takes a lot less time, than breaking a part and waiting for a replacement. If that part is even sold.

I was trying out my dad’s router and I pushed the lever too hard and now the spring won’t work. What do I do?

Umm maybe open it and check if the spring got busted. Finding replacement might be difficult though...depending on the router brand...

Firstly I would just clean and oil it. If that does not help - then open it and check what's wrong.

i'm not very experienced, but how hard can it be ? ha , ha , ha, ha, lol,lmfao, very very hard, if there is likely an un up and down motion , with an auto return, that usually says, spring, and some kind of a detent for it to stop, all kinds of other shit too, but what a statement, not experienced means hours, maybe even days of frustration, so unless that bad boy has sentimental value , take it to someone, or just go to lowes depot, and pick out a new one
