• DIY
• Electrical
• Construction

If you have a ratchet mechanism that is jammed, rusted because of dust or water ingress or can’t switch directions, you can repair it simply by taking it apart, giving it a good clean and re-greasing it.

To clean the mechanism effectively, you can use brake and clutch cleaner and to re-grease it, any wheel bearing grease will work, like RS item 134-7590.

However, if the spring or pawl has broken, you will need to repair the mechanism by using a ratchet repair kit like this which contains all of the essential parts needed to restore the broken ratchet back to a working one.

This ratchet renewal kit has three different drive sizes available:
• 125-3113 - 1/2 inch square drive
