Design change. Shaft for early model was no longer available.
Current model uses 5/8" diameter shaft. Old model used a 3/4" shaft.
Machined a 1-1/2" long brass sleeve, 3/4" O.D. x 5/8" I.D. to take up the space.
Pressed the spring retaining pins in place.
Pre loaded the spring and tightened the shaft retaining hex screw.
Tightened the hex screw retaining nut.
Checked spring tension and readjusted the shaft rotation so the guard automatically returned to the covered position.
Oiled the Cutter head guard and shaft.

Powermatic cutterhead guard worn out and functioning poorly
Matt - May 4, 2016
Tool Type
Jointer
Difficulty
Easy
Time
15-30 minutes
Tools Used
Pliers, hex wrench, non-marring hammer
After removing the original cutterhead guard from my Powermatic PJ882 jointer I assembled all the new replacement parts to match the original configuration and re-installed the guard.
The real story here is that ereplacementparts.com made finding, ordering and replacing the COMPLETE guard a very simple and straightforward process. If they had a less streamlined order process or had messed up the order by sending wrong parts and pieces it could have easily made the process very difficult and frustrating. As it was it was quick, painless and a reasonable value.
