Here is a link to the bearings we used www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2246282424...
Brilliant video and the guy doing the repair seems to know his stuff…😁
He does thanks for watching 👍🏼
Great informative video. Had to replace both bearings on the gear side but no problem apart from removing the spring clips being a bit of a faff. the link to the bearings was a great help too and saved a lot of online search time. thanks again.
So glad it helped happy crafting.
Well this was just amazing! What a great husband! I hope I never have to do this, but at least I know what it looks like inside just in case. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you he’s the best. Thanks for watching
Whenever I take something apart, I have 1 or 2 paper plates, and I tape the screws and other parts to the paper plate and # them and note where they go back. Then I can just reverse the process and don’t have to remember, just follow my ‘map’. TY for the tips, going to try this with my exact same model.
You’re welcome I hope it helps & thanks for viewing the channel.
@@allyscraftycreations I have a swivel fan that I take apart once a year, and at the very inside is a small spring, that I replace with a clicker pen spring, so it goes back to swiveling right again. ☺️ I love keeping things out of the trash, and money in the bank, instead of the other way around. When something is solid and well made, like this Sizzix, that’s possible! Thanks again.
My fella does something similar to your paper plate method, tho no taping down. Me? I use a 6 pk foam egg carton I latched onto long ago from some gas station / convenience store along the Interstate somewhere. Each “layer” of a project gets its own divot, and if it looks like it’s going to be r e a l l y complicated, I take pictures. So far it’s working!
@@kkrolf2782 That is awesome, thanks for sharing.
thx, great tip !!!
Well I watched it, but I would NEVER EVER be able to remember how to put that thing back together 🤣😂.
I think it’s a guy thing who have natural instinct to tinker with these kinds of things. I got lost after the first 6 screws 😂..
You earned your thumbs up.
I know the feeling Thanks for watching
Thank you Hubby! Saving this for my hubby when it’s needed. You’re the best for showing this. Wanna come over and get me left brake on my bicycle to quit seeking, even though it was professionally gone over? (LOL)
Thanks for watching he also loves fixing bikes 🤣
I always wanted to see the insides of a die cutting machine. Great job! You forgot the punchline, cutting with it to show it working. But well done.
Thanks for watching here is a link to the video of it working ua-cam.com/video/ze8B4pO8rtU/v-deo.html I mostly emboss but can show it cutting at some point 👍😁
Awesome job! I’m glad he was able to fix it! My husband would of said, jus get a new one.. lol..
I nearly got an electric one had it in my basket but I’ll wait a bit longer now lol
Thank you for taking the time to show us this. Very helpful.
Your welcome thanks for watching 😀
Bravo for fixing this Big Short for your wife! Now it's good as new! You did such a great job of showing how you fixed this, I do believe I could attempt my own repair, should the need ever arises. I'm a widow, so don't have a husband to fix things for me. Great job and thanks for sharing this video!!!
Thanks for watching
Great video. Thank you so much for showing us how to repair the problem. Keep this guy, LOL
Thanks, will do! 😁
Hi Ally (& Mr Ally 😊) thanks for posting this!!! Just a comment or two for anyone else out there. My Sizzix Big Shot was purchased in 2013 & stopped working a few weeks ago. It's one of the limited edition pale blue versions, the long side panels took a bit of messing about to remove but I used a flat head screwdriver. I got there in the end, cleaned it up, tightened some loose screws and oiled the mechanism. Sadly my machine still isn't working but it was worth trying and can't complain after 11 years of heavy use!!! It's been a fantastic reliable machine and I'll definitely be buying another one. Appreciate your post. Thank you, my name is also Ally (Allison, Scotland) ❤ did it myself without help from my Mr Ally 😂😂 however, I might ask him to try & see if I missed something 😅
Hi thanks for watching where your bearings still ok? That was the problem with mine
Mr Ally loves to tinker 🤣
Hiya, the bearings are gone sadly, my other half confirmed 😢 I've ordered a new one but it was definitely worth taking apart first so thanks again to you both x
Thank you for showing us that operation, I am definitely not touching mine, too many bits & pieces 😮😂
I get that 😁
A slap and a tickle...oh, so love that! Thanks, sir. Nicely done.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁 thanks for watching
wow what a man!! Great husband, who saved you a tidy little amount of money - I hope you had a treat ready at the end of all this xx
Thank you so much for watching he s did 😀
Thank you for helping me save my BigKick. I had taken it apart once already to clean out the paper bits but after putting it back together it still wasn't working. Checked around for some more videos to go deeper into the problem as I suspected it was something in the bearing part. Your video was what I needed to see to know how to take out the bearing chambers. One of mine fell apart as soon as we tapped it out. Found the correct parts on Amazon, and it's all back together and working! For those that are worried about all the screws and where they go back, just take a picture of each screw next to the holes so you remember.
I’m so glad you got it working again well done 👍
I am currently trying to fix a different issue on a different die cutting machine... BUT your video helped me to get into the inside of mine and locate my problem!!..... Small gear had some of its teeth broken off !... Now just hoping I'm able to find a replacement part for that small gear!?!? Fingers Crossed!!.....
Then I should have it back to a working condition!!..
Thanx for making the video and sharing it with all of us here on UA-cam!!
Oh which machine are you repairing? I hope you find the gears you need. Thanks for watching
@@allyscraftycreations Mine is the Sizzix Big Kick (red/white). Maybe like their first version of that machine, not sure??...
But I had kept looking at it for a few days not being able to figure out how to get access to the gears. I could see the tabs on the inside but dud not seem like they were attached in a way to allow the sides to be removed. And I didn't want to break it more in the case that the tabs did not allow it to be removed.
But again your husband just got right into the one in the video, and sure enough mine came off just as easily the same way!! And Yes Im hopping that little gear will be a commonly used part that It will allow me to easily get a replacement for it!!
We shall see!?.... Thanx again!
@@DOCDOCFLAMINGOS good luck
Thanks so much for the instructions on repairing the die cutting machine.

Great demo! Thanks so much!
Your very welcome thanks for watching
I have found this so interesting but there is no way I could do this to mine !! I hope my husband will follow your video! Where did you order the bearings from if wr need them x
We got them from eBay they are generic ones hope that helps
Great video ! Thank you for sharing
Our pleasure!
Great info! Thanks
Thanks for watching
Thank you, this was very cool!
You're very welcome! Glad you liked it
Oh my, well done. Great job but no wY would I attempt this 😊
Oh that’s such a shame
You don’t have to do it by yourself. Ask a curious friend if they will try to help you. And you could try my paper plate method above, to help you keep track of the parts. Good luck.
Great job. You made it look so easy.
Thank you for watching
Does he make house calls??? ❤
Unfortunately not. He’s a talented guy isn’t he Thanks for watching

Your welcome glad it helps
Very helpful 👍🏼😃!
I’m glad it was helpful thanks for visiting the channel
Hi what a fabulous and informative video. I am having problems with my Big Shot and came across it. After watching this I feel confident to have a go at repairing it. Can you tell me where to buy the bearings from. I am in the UK . I have looked on line but there seems to be lots of them in different sizes, I want to make sure I get the correct ones. Thank you again for the demonstration.
Hi thanks for watching I have put a link in the description now i must have forgot
shoot guys, where was this video as I tried to fix my Revolution 2yrs ago 🤦♀️ Now I have Big shot too 😊 Funny fact: the grease tube match the machine 😂😂😂😂😂
Aww I’m 2 years late 🤣 thanks for watching
Brave brave made to open up the big shot ! Slow explaination shown step by step helped me to understand wear and torn .washer on outside only interesting! Finding new bearings never caught where you got bearing. Bio Grease I will look for in Canada .
My handle 's screw loosens up enough to fall out. That's missing a wacher but how to get one so small ? From Sizzix ,? Amazon ,hardware store??
Thanks😮
Thanks for watching I’d suggest Amazon or a hardware store you might get a packet with a few sizes in to try good luck
Lol, if my husband tried that he would have a screw left over 😅
He’s normally quite organised when it comes to repairs lol..thanks for visiting
OMG… THANK YOU!!! My machine is doing exactly the same thing and I can also hear something rattling inside as well. I’ve sourced the bearings you got to fix your wife’s, but do I only need two of them? (I can buy them singly). Sorry if this is a silly question, but machines and I aren’t exactly best mates. 😅 Thanks again xxoo
There is 4 in total but it depends on how many have gone on yours we bought the extra just in case we needed them but only 1 was broken so I have spares hope this helps
@@allyscraftycreations thank you! Absolutely helps 100%.
Hi! This is video I needed! But can I ask what’s your sizing for the bearings?
Hi there’s a link in the description of what we used they are just a generic bearing. Hope this helps & thanks for watching 👍
Thank you very much for this video... My Big Shot has the very same problem and I'm trying to fix it, but I'm struggling with the bearing. How did you remove it? Regards from Ensenada, México.
You will need a flat head screwdriver and tap the bearing out from behind. I hope this helps & thanks for watching
@@allyscraftycreations Thank you. :)
@@allyscraftycreations Came back to thank you again, your video was very, very helpful. I had to order the bearing from China, because I couldn't find any where I live; it arrived a couple of days ago and now my Big Shot is all set again. I'm very happy. 😀
@@irisrodriguez5848 that’s great news I’m glad you got it fixed 👍
Thank you for the link. I have taken the machine apart and two of the teeth on the small gear which sits on the spindle in the handle have sheared off which I assume is causing it to jump back. Do you have any idea where I would be able to get another one from? The bearings appear to be ok. Thank you in advance.
I’m not sure where you will get one sounds like it could be a sizzix part & not generic like the bearings maybe give them a ring. Hope you get it sorted
Where did he order the bearings? Thank you for showing the repair.

This is a link to where I got them hope this helps
Thanks B U N C H E S, S I R, for telling us the s p e c i f i c dimensions of the bearing you were needing to replace!! Were the replacement bearings generic? Or “original equipment manufactured” from the Sizzix manufacturer? Thanks again!
@@kkrolf2782 the replacement bearings where generic hope this helps
@@allyscraftycreations ABSOLUTELY, it helps!! Thankfully my S.B.S. Plus is still in fine working order, but ya never know when that might not be the case! 🫶 😉👍
Where did you purchase the bearings from and how did you know what the part was called? I’m in the U.S. thanks
We didn’t know what was wrong with it until we took it apart & saw it was the bearings which we got from eBay. Hope this helps
What size bearings please
@@mariathorpe4880 Hi there’s a link in the description of what we used they are just a generic bearing. Hope this helps & thanks for watching 👍
