You will have to take the saw mostly apart for this repair, but parts cost a lot less than a new saw if you don\'t mind the repair work. Start by removing the blade, washers, and bolt. Remove the foot from the saw by removing the pivot screw/nut at the front and the adjustment bolt from the rear (remove the set screw on the lever, then th ...

Remove the drive pud (what the blade bolts to) by removing the four retaining screws. Remove the blade housing by removing the screws from the backside. Remove the handle cover. Remove the white plastic cover behind the blade housing. Pull the armature out of the field coil (might have to tap on the back of the motor housing to get the bearing out of the bore, otherwise it\'s held in with magnetic force). Carefully remove the wiring from the handle for the cord, trigger, and light. Remove the field coil screws and the coil (turning the housing over and thumping it against a wood block with release it; it\'s pressure fit). Reinstall the field coil into the new motor housing (line up the screw holes and tap it in with a drift ot screwdriver until it seats). Reinstall the field coil screws. Carefully route the wiring through the guides in the housing. If the cord needs replacement now\'s a good time. The rest of reassembly is just the reverse of disassembly. Be sure to test the saw when done. These are relatively simple tools to repair, just take your time and snap some pictures if you need to.

Took the handle apart put it together with new housing while it was apart put new brushes in. Works just like new!

Pulled motor and brushes out of broken case, replaced case with replacement case, new switch, and just as good as new
