Screwdriver, Wrench Set, Nutdriver, Bearing puller, brass drifts, lathe
Took Hitachi hammer motor and switch assembly apart. Determined parts needed. Removed the bearings. Spun the rotor in the lathe to recondition the brush contact area. Installed the new bearings and installed the rotor in the new motor housing. Installed the new brushes and reassembled. Also, installed the new cord. Parts also included the new motor housing and the bearings. Much cheaper than a new hammer and works excellent. Parts delivered quickly.
