Drill lost power, then stopped working. Replaced the brushes and it\'s like new. I also replaced the chuck to prevent drill bits from slipping when in use. I followed your YouTube instructional videos and everything was a breeze.

Remove one half of the housing, then disconnect the terminals from the brush ring. Pull the brush springs out from behind the brushes and place the end of them on the side of the brush ring. Pull the brushes away from the armature. Then remove the old brush ring from the housing. Do the same with the brush springs on the new one as you di d with the old one then place the brush ring in the housing, now place the brush spring so that the brushes are in contact with the armature. Connect the terminals to the brush ring , then place the housing back on.

Followed YouTube video. No problems with instructions. However, highly recommend thorough cleaning of internal electrical components and housing using electrical cleaning solvent. Be sure to re-lubricate all bearing and wear surfaces after the solvent cleaning of carbon brush, dust debris.

Followed the helpful video.

Tragically, it turned out the gear box was stripped. So the drill is toast after all.

But replacing the brushes was easy!
