How to replace the blades on Wahl clippers

[@JL-il6vk]

Thank you for making this tutorial! Helped me a great deal when the spring popped and I didn’t know which way to put that bottom blade back in.

Thanks for watching

[@markbahouth2713]

thanks Max. the WAHL user guide never explained how to disassemble and most importantly how to REASSEMBLE the blades. you did a good job and it was a good thing you kept the original screws or you might of been SCREWED. P.S. the replacement kit might of been more expensive than buying a new clipper. excellent DIY video . thank you.

Omg.. that spring.. it drove me insane for a couple of times😂

[@maxmusclem]

@@robinrobijns1215 I know it’s a real pain

[@BreeOlson9]

Thank you so much! I use this on my Persian cats and thought I needed to replace the whole thing, didn’t even realize blades could just be changed! Saved me 200 bucks, you’re the best! ❤

Thnx this saved my butt. I lied to my barber told him I knew how to put the clippers back together for a free haircut lol.

[@phyllisjohnson2914]

Thanks for the tutorial. It helped me tremendously. I never would have replaced the blade without your help.

[@maxmusclem]

Awesome . Thanks for watching

[@cocoemrick1903]

It came apart very easily, reassembled, not so much. Your tutorial saved me from buying a new clipper!

[@janerobin4060]

Nicely done! It was taking me forever to align my new blades

[@LandonTristen]

You just saved me $40 thinking my clippers went bad but the whole time the spring just got loose. Thanks so much man

I had to buy clippers because Alopecia took my hair out. It took me over two hours trying to figure this out until I came across your video. Thank you so much!

[@maxmusclem]

Glad it helped

[@verily360]

Thanks saved my life even though mine was a mini clipper this helped me to reassemle!

[@craigladeroot642]

Thanks for making this video. I know how to change the blades now.

Thank you I took apart my razors to cut my own hair and I watch several videos and you help me I appreciate this video

Thank you very much. Very clear images and instructions. My clippers are the Wahl Color Coded ones (bought during the pandemic because in Australia the hairdressers were closed) and when I put it back together it seemed that I didn't have to adjust them at all. One thing that I didn't realise is that the lever at the side is an adjuster for the blade closeness. I've had issues shaving the left side above my ear and usually go too close (I'm right handed), so changing the closeness might solve that issue.

[@patriciairons9508]

I watched so many videos and none of them showed where those two prongs fit in exactly so thank you

Thank you for posting this. I was struggling to put mine back together.

[@JoJenkinson]

Thank you! The Wahl demo video doesn't include the plastic bit!

[@amandafrost9383]

Thank you! I was going crazy trying to figure it out.

[@nkhensanisimango4888]

Only video I could find that helped me

[@JL-il6vk]

Same here. The wahl video wasn’t as good.

[@Ev_Cutz]

Right he actually also started from the beginning when the blades weren't even uncrowded yet other people post KZbin videos with the clippers already taken apart and that's just useless so I think I'm just subscribe to this channel since this is my first time seeing this video and channel

[@tonysolino3131]

Thanks. This was exactly what I needed.

[@SUZY55]

Fantastic tutorial! I have really, really struggled with this - now I finally know the right way to do it!

[@BRoxane1]

I agree! I couldn't find the plastic piece. It was still stuck to my clippers! Now if I can only find a replacement blade for my set. Went to the Wahl site and they have not been available for months. Thank you for the video!! Bless up! ^i^

[@JoseChavez-yf8hn]

Very helpful, 👍 👌 thank you.

[@myalaynaangel]

Thanks so much for showing what side the bottom goes on. I knew it was supposed to go a certain way and could not figure it out

[@rrobles9453]

Thank you for this video! 🙌

[@Ev_Cutz]

How can we 0 gap the clippers if I'm not able to? I think I'm going to get a bigger and different blade probably use the same screws like you just did and I'm going to need the cutting blade still blade and the gray metal part that had the holes 🕳 for the screws to go into to be able to 0 gap? Is that possible with the clippers that i have?

[@maxmusclem]

I just push the blades as close together as possible and tighten screws

[@joyceyamamoto1088]

Great video ❤ - thank you so much! No wonder clipper didn’t sound right. I did not assemble it back correctly - doh 😂.

when i took off the screws i got a second spring out, how to and where to replace it please ?

[@maxmusclem]

At 3:40 you can see the 2 spring arms . Align to the 2 slots on the plastic piece attached to the blade . Are your clippers the same model ? I don’t recall any more springs except the 2 arms

[@tagkiler41]

@@maxmusclem the blades are same, the look like U spring and ➿.

I use Wahl Pros for my dog and really needed new blades and no other tutorials explained the spring and I was so afraid to break it.

[@maxmusclem]

I hope this helped

[@Eddie2425]

Do you, or anyone else know how to get the little plastic piece that’s inside the smaller blade? That part is worn out on mine. I need blades, but I also need that plastic piece as well. Also, anyone know what that piece is called? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[@maxmusclem]

Look up wahl accessories on Amazon . They have parts

[@Eddie2425]

Thank you for the reply! I looked up the parts, but I can’t find any plastic pieces that look like the one that came off of yours and mine. We have the exact same one.

[@maxmusclem]

@@Eddie2425 I’ve looked at every website for clipper parts . Can’t find that plastic piece anywhere .

[@Eddie2425]

@@maxmusclem Thank you for looking! I’ve looked everywhere myself. I don’t understand why they seem to sell pretty much everything else except for that!? I feel like it should come with the blade set in my opinion. Mine has become so worn the clippers sound like a chainsaw now!

[@maxmusclem]

@@Eddie2425 They should have a full replacement kit . They do that so we have to buy new clippers

Zero gap it in the process

[@ddhill61]

It took me forever to get them back together….but no that side lever won’t work. What am I doing wrong…. Bout to throw in the towel and buy new ones. They are less than 2 years old!

[@maxmusclem]

Try putting some oil between the blades . Maybe they are so dry they won’t slide . Also maybe the screws are too tight just back the screws out a tiny bit

[@maxmusclem]

Do the clippers seem to be working correct besides the slide not working ?

[@ddhill61]

@@maxmusclem initially they wouldn’t even turn on, so took them apart and put back together, then they turn on but the lever on the side won’t work. I’ll try your previous suggestion to oil between before re-assembly. I know it’s me, terrible at these things. Tryin to save money by grooming my own dog, which I also learned how to do on youtube. Already had to buy a special screwdriver just to get the blade off; mine did not have a regular Philips….some fancy star thing

[@maxmusclem]

@@ddhill61 I know I saw the new screws not normal . I’m not handy at all but I just took my time and figured it out . Let me know . You’ll get it .
