Replaced the brushes.

On the saws just removed the blades and clipped the springs in place. Replacing the brushes only took removing the caps.

Remove screws from handle and separate halves to access trigger mechanism and brush holders. Remove brushes.
Remove case screws and separate case at motor and gearbox joint. Be mindful of shims on ends of gear shafts. They need to stay in place.
The armature will now slide out of the case with a little effort. Rear bearing has a rubber coating that will cause some drag for the first half inch or so.
The old bearings can be removed from the armature and installed on the new part with the proper puller however if your drill is heavily used or you do not have a puller it may be best to install new bearings with the new armature. The nose end bearing may be stuck in the plate that serves as the rear of the gearcase. It is just a snug fit and should come out with a few light taps.
Reassemble in reverse order and enjoy.
