    Rupes LHR 75 E mini

    So i was using my mini today and the Velcro on the backing plate came off.
    I assume i need a new backing plate. I don't see how the backing plate comes off.
    in the box i see the allen key but where the vecro came off i dont see anything to unscrew.
    any help would be appreciated, thanks

    IIRC there's an Allen bolt in the center of the backing plate.

    I don't see it. the velcro came off and it is just flat, no bolt in the center.
    I also have the flex 3401. i see the bolt on that polisher. i always change the 5 inch plate to 6 and vise versa.
    but there is no bolt on the center of this polisher

    You need a drink.

    Or, less drinks. Lol
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
