Product Description

?

Genuine Milwaukee replacement part. Includes 1 Carbon Brush with wire lead, brush spring and bracket attached. • Worn brushes frequently are the cause behind a motor running poorly. • Replacing brushes can fix a motor that's operating intermittently. • New brushes can restore a motor's electric braking. Carbon brushes are one of the most commonly replaced power tool parts. This is because carbon brushes are wear items, meaning that through friction and use they will gradually wear away until they need replacing. Worn brushes are a common causes of intermittent motor function, reduced electric braking and reduced motor power. A worn-out brush will often be worn down near to the wire lead and can be cracked, pitted, or burned. When replacing carbon brushes, be sure to inspect your armature for burns, cracks, or other damage which can indicate larger motor problems.

In my case the brush caps were already missing so I didn\'t have to remove those but if your drill still have those then with a flat a screw driver simply unscrew it off, pull out old brushes, slide in the new ones followed by screwing on the brush caps and then you\'re all done.
As an additional precaution you may want to check the black plastic where the caps screw on for missing chunks and pieces(black plastic part itself is not expensive but the labor to install it may be expensive and time consuming if you resort to having it done by someone else as the drill have to be split apart and then some), apparently a very common occurrence, especially on old used tools.
Mine\'s were on fair-borderline bad-halfway missing. Thankfully there was enough threads showing on the black plastic part for the caps to grab on.
Good luck on your repairs !
