Anyone have any idea where to get replacement carbon brushes for my jcb ht60600 hedge trimmer,or any compatable carbon brushes? They are unusual as they are in their own plastic housing and not like most readily available brushes,any advice greatly appreciated,

At the edge of the plastic housing you will see the lip of a brass holder. Pull this out using fine tweezers or wire cutters (just to grip, not to cut) . From the other side of the brass holder you can pull out the 8x5mm carbon brush.
You can pick up a replacement set for less than £2 at amazon. You will need a dremel tool or similar to make the slot on two sides of the replacement brush so it matches the original, or you could cut back the brass a bit so it doesn't need slots.
