Remove pad, take out the to screaws with washers, that hold the weight.
Now you should be able to pull out the bearing. Under this bearing is a philips screaw that holds a hub to the shaft.
Had to replace this hub once. You might be able to take the woble out by tightening this screaw.
lol

You know I was thinking about that. I saw that bolt in ony of the diy bearing replacement photos from the link posted above. But it wouldn't make sense to start taking things apart when the machine is less than 30 days old and I should be able to get it replaced.

I'll keep you posted.

In the exploded veiw #128 eccentric hsg kit. This thing started to woble one day took it apart tightened the screaw, fixed the woble. I then ordered new #128, felt that it did not fit tightly onthe shaft, the shaft was also steel, and the eccentric hsg #128 a softer metal. This machine was several years old, still going 15+ years.
Oh Hell Yea seems to me should have some kind of warrenty coverage. What do you want to bet they just tight this screaw? Then again your problem could be differant. Last time I went to a tool repair shop they charged me $75 for labor 1 hr & 15 min, $1 a minute.
Again Lots Of Luck!
Merry Christmas

I agree......why mess with it....send it back...........

I emailed customer service asking for an exchange.

The new pc is on the way. AG provided a return shipping label for the defective pc. Thanks AG and everyone for your help.
