Help!!

Well I got my new pc today, but there is one problem. My backing plate broke, yes! When I was using it, it started fine (rotating) but then it would not rotate when placed over the car. Did I tight it too much? There is also like a small round thing where does that goes?

Take it back apart and put the spacer on(small ring thing), then backing plate and tighten nut to hold both on. You have jammed the plate up against the tool.

the small ring goes between the backing plate and the slug? to prevent direct contact with the backing plate and the PC?

read my post above, that will fix your problem.

Looks like it. What size/ brand is your BP?

[marchese_alexander]

5" the one from AG

[ASPHALT ROCKET]

Yes, that is why it broke

I've got a question too. I got the UDM instead of the PC and my backing plate was already installed. Am I good to go or do I need to adjust or do something to it before I use it for the first time?
