first make sure you are using the right sandpaper for the tool and if it is hook and loop look at the pad for wear that will not allow the paper to adhere fully, if it is a PSA make sure the pad is not damaged.
IF you have a new disk and it will not stick, the velcro-like surface on the machine is worn. "Hook and Loop" is but another term for "Velcro" and the simplest solution is to purchase velcro tape from any fabric store and glue the correct side to the sander.
First I would go to Dewaltservicenet.com and in the middle of the site towards the bottom type in your model number. I found breakdown on page 8 unless it comes up faster. You will need a bearing puller or something similar because they are pressed on. It is really not that hard with the proper tools. Let me know and if I have answered your question would you please rate this response accordingly and Thank you.
Shane, it's not the sander that is the problem. This is a difficult machine to use, even for those who have been in the trade for years. The trick is to keep the head moving, and apply vary little pressure. Sorry I didn't find you sooner, but I just found this site 2 weeks ago.I'm sure you have already painted by now but your best bet would be to purchase a manual pole sander. If you have any other drywall questions, or know anyone who does, feel free to ask.
Go to Dewaltservicenet.com and in the center of the page under needing parts type in your tool model number it will take you to another page and scroll down to the type 1 or 2 and click on it. It will bring up an exploded view of this tool. Why do you think that you need brushes? usually I have to replace the bearings and the brushes are pretty durable. Let me know if I can help further
