Genuine Skil replacement parts Set of 2 Carbon Brushes with wire leads and brush springs attached. • Worn brushes are often the cause of a poorly running motor • Replacing brushes can fix an intermittent motor • New brushes can restore a motor's electric braking Carbon motor brushes are one of the most commonly replaced power tool components. • Because carbon brushes are wear items, meaning that through friction and use they will gradually wear away, they will eventually require replacement. • Worn brushes are common causes of intermittent motor function, reduced electric braking, and reduced motor power. • A worn out brush will often be worn down near the wire lead and may be cracked, pitted, or burned. • When replacing carbon brushes, be sure to also inspect your armature for burns, cracks, or other damage which indicates a larger motor problem.

Parts that fit!
eReplacement resurrected my venerable Skil #77 worm drive saw. These sold for over $200 in 1975, and Skil has no comparable item today. I think you could build a new one from scratch thru this parts source!

Fast and Easy. The way I like it.
Fast shipment and after getting the old cracked brush covers off, it was all easy.
Perfectly good Skilsaw again. Hopefully I'll get another 20 years of service out of it!

Disassembled saw grip, removed old switch and replaced with new switch. Now this is where I got into a bit of trouble as the new switch is wired differently as the old one. They look similar, however the wires go to different terminals. When I reassembled the saw and tried to run it the breaker kept blowing. So I broke down and looked at
... Read morethe wiring diagram that came with the new switch and saw the error of my ways. Did I mention my saw (a Skil 77) is 22 years old? Any way I took the handle apart again and rewired the new switch, put things back together again (not really too complicated) and she fired right up. The brushes are easy, just remove the brush caps, remove the old ones and install the new ones. If I had paid a little closer attention to the wiring diagram it wouldn\'t have taken an hour to do the repair. Oh and the parts arrived in less than a week, I was pretty happy about that. Couldn\'t find a switch for that old a saw anywhere in Phoenix.
Remove the screws from the handle assembly, then unscrew switch from handle and remove the cord clamp. Remove the cord leads from the switch and the ground wire. Discard old cord. Slide the new cord relief onto the new cord. Install the cord leads on the switch , then the ground lead. Attach switch to handle , then put the cord clamp back

Remove the brush caps with a screwdriver, then remove the old brushes. Install the new brushes, then screw the brush caps back on. Check oil level in the saw and add more if needed.

7. Install new bearing on commutator side of new armature using a simple jig to hold the armature.
8. Slide new armature into the gearbox housing.
9. Reinstall nut and carefully tighten with impact driver. This will pull the armature through the gearbox until it stops when the armature shoulder contacts the inner bearing race on the armature side of the gearbox. Take your time with this.
10. Reassemble saw.
11. Refill gearbox with oil.
12. Replace brushes.
Note: I\'ve done this type of replacement a number of times on Skil circular saws without replacing the bearings on the gearbox side and not had any long term problems. But it is likely that Skil recommends replacing the two gearbox bearings as part of the procedure.

I had a burnt up armature the windings were burnt. It had started sparking and smoking while I was using it last. Then was dead. It was about ten years old at least.
First I got my tools together along with a parts diagram from the 1677md Bosch worm drive. I set up and had enough room to lay out my tools and the parts after disassembled without loosing track where they were supposed to go when I put it back together. I removed the four bolts that held the handle to the housing. Then pulled it apar
... Read moret. I then had to figure out how to remove the armature. I have never done any real tool repair. So then loosened the plastic cap on the front of the saw with an adjustable wrench and started to remove all the oil. After removing the large plastic cap on the front of the saw inside I found a nut that held the end of the armature axis in place. I untightened and removed it. I then had to put the nut back on the threads partially so that I could start tapping on it to loosen the armature and work it through. Then loosened the nut and the armature came loose and was free. I still had to figure out how to remove the bearing ring from the other end of the armature(the end with the fan). So then I put it in a vice and used a lever(aka screwdrivers) to pop it off. Then I pounded it on the new armature and set the new armature into place where the old one was. Pounding it slightly with a small balpeen hammer. Then tightened the nut that I put on the threads on the front of the armature axis inside where the large plastic cap was. Then replaced the cap and tightened. At this time I opened where you replace the oil and filled to where oil filled line was. I also replaced the brushes on both sides along with new lever asemblies for adjustment on both bevel and depth as mine were bent up and missing the front one from abuse and rough use. I then plugged a cord into the back of my saw and pulled the trigger. Amazingly everything went perfect. I havent ever done any real repair but I love my discontinued model. I will be doing many tool and part replacments and keep tools in better shape now. Saw is like brand new now and I\'m happy as hell. No instructions just a diagram. If I can do it, anybody can with patience.

Dirty armature. Carbon brushes could not make a clean contact with the armature so the saw wouldnGÇÖt run
Set polishing on armature gently and turned the blade till the armature showed a bright shiny. Copper. Then I installed the new brushes and cap. My 30 year saw ran like I just bought it!
