Genuine Makita 233292-8 — Compression Spring 12: a compact, direct-fit compression spring listed by Makita for use inside the gear / spindle assembly of several corded angle grinders.
This single-piece spring (listed as "Compression Spring 12" by Makita) restores proper return and engagement action where the pin-cap and gear housing meet; it’s the exact replacement shown in parts breakdowns for models such as 9067, GA7020 , GA9081 / GA9082 and related 180–230 mm grinders.
Easy to install — it sits behind the pin cap / gear housing and is supplied as one spring per part number — so when your spindle lock or internal return feels weak, replacing it with this genuine Makita 233292-8 will bring the mechanism back to factory operation. Keep this item in your Makita parts list when servicing those grinders.
