While foosball tables are known to be tough and sturdy, they are not completely indestructible. After too much intensity from a tournament or regular wear and tear over the years, it is common to break a foosball player.
Fortunately, if you spend years playing and investing in your foosball table and a player breaks, all it needs is a simple replacement.
Our team here at Games For Fun has been working with foosball tables and parts for decades. Regardless of brand or model, we can help get your table back to it’s best condition. Along with our foosball selection online, our showroom in San Bernardino holds everything you need to maintain the quality of your table for years.
Got a broken player? Follow these steps to replace foosball men and get back to playing:
Step 1: Supplies
Having the right tools to replace your players is crucial. Here’s what you need:
- Hammer
- Foosball Pin Punch
- Bumper
- Player
- Wooden Block
Step 2: Prep
Replacing foosball players does not take too much prep, but it is important in order to keep your table clean and in good shape. Before any replacement is done, set a towel down onto the base of the table to catch any pieces that may fall off during the process. Having a towel down will also protect any potential damage that could be caused by installing the pin punch.
Step 3: Removal
To remove the pin of the broken player, use your pin punch and hammer it out. The wooden block should be placed under the rod to help prevent your rod from bending or warping while you hammer out the old pin. Once the pin is out of the player, it will easily slide off of the rod. Removing rods from a foosball table is simple and easy. Simply unscrew the bearings on each side of the table to slide the rod out.
Step 4: Replacement
Foosball player replacement is similar to removal. Simply slide in your new players onto the rod and align them to the holes with the pin punch. Before you hammer the pins back in place, make sure to keep the wooden block under the rod again to prevent warping. After all of the players are secure, screw the bumpers back into the table.
