Where do you get a replacement shaft? I can't find any online
You don't need to pry the bottom plate off and risk damaging the seal. Simply apply firm pressure on the shaft against a table while simultaneously wiggling the bottom plate back and forth with a large flathead screwdriver inserted into the charging hole on the bottom. It will pop off smoothly leaving the seal untouched and not scratching the housing or charging plug.
I can not find the shaft anywhere who sells them
Like the previous comments I also am looking for the replacement shaft. If anyone has found a source please leave a comment with regards to where they can be found.
Thanks for the help
Like everyone above, I can't locate the "replacement shaft". Anyone have any ideas who might have one? A $179 toothbrush should last more than the one year warranty! Is the Braun Oral-B any better?
