Overview
Wheel bolt for the Razorback Sandia spotter, 5/16 inch × 1 inch. Sandia part number 10-0387.
The machine it belongs to
Sandia's 3-Gallon Spot-XTract, model 50-1002 — a 100 CFM, 804 watt spotting extractor. CCW supplies it as the Razorback SpotX.
Where it sits in the machine
Item 29 in Sandia's machine parts list for the 3-Gallon Spot-XTract, listed as 5/16" x 1" Spotter Wheel Bolt, quantity 2 per machine.
It retains roller blade wheel 10-0303, also two per machine.
Replace the bolt with the wheel
This is a two-dollar part doing a job that matters. The bolt is the axle: it carries the machine's weight in shear every time the spotter is dragged over a threshold, and it is exposed to the same water and grit the wheel is.
A bolt that has worn, bent, or lost its thread lets the wheel wobble, and a wobbling wheel destroys its own bearing and then the mounting. Reusing an old bolt with a new wheel is how you end up doing the job again.
Order two bolts with every pair of wheels. The cost is negligible next to the inconvenience of finding one seized on site.
Fitting advice
Check the mounting point in the base plate while the wheel is off. If the hole has elongated, the bolt has been loose for a while and a new bolt alone will not fix it — tell us and we will look at what else is available.
Do not over-tighten. The wheel has to turn freely; a bolt done up hard enough to clamp the wheel against the base plate stops it rolling and the machine gets dragged instead.
Sandia's stated warranty on this machine
From the manual: lifetime on moulded components, five years on the vacuum motor, five years on the pump, and five years on all electrical components. That is the manufacturer's stated position — check with us before assuming a part is covered, because normal wear items and damage from neglect or abuse are excluded.

Frequently asked questions
What size is it?
5/16 inch × 1 inch.
How many do I need?
Two per machine.
Can I use a hardware-store bolt?
The length and diameter matter, and so does the head — it has to clear the wheel and the base plate. Ask us if you are substituting.
How tight should it be?
Firm, but the wheel must still turn freely.
Order these with the wheels. It is the cheapest half of the job and the half that determines whether it lasts.
