This genuine OEM steel ball measures 5.6mm in diameter and is used in the ball bearing mechanisms or detent systems of your handheld power tools. It minimizes friction between moving parts, allowing them to move smoothly without causing excessive wear or resistance. It can also provide a reliable locking mechanism in the detent system, ensuring that adjustable parts stay securely in place during operation. Typically, you can find this steel ball inside the main housing of your power tool. It facilitates smooth rolling or sliding movements in various components like compression springs, cam clutches, barrels, or spindles. Signs of a worn or damaged steel ball include increased vibration or inconsistent locking. To check if the steel ball requires replacement, visually inspect it for any signs of wear or damage. If you are unsure about how to replace the steel ball in your machine, it is recommended to consult your user manual for instructions. Please note that this replacement part is sold individually, as your tool may need multiple steel balls. It is also crucial to make sure you have the correct size of steel ball for your specific repair.

, Small three jaw puller, grease & foam swab to put grease on.
Compression spring on top of the flat washer ,Then I proceeded to put main shaft with the cup washer on it through the compression spring.I used the three jar puller to compress the spring in the assembly so shaft would push out through the hammer allowing me to put the two larger ball bearings in the two groves in the shaft. Once they were in place I released the pressure on the hammer spring and the assembly was now ready to it back in drill, be sure to apply a small amount of grease on the assembly before putting it back in the drill. Put the assembly back on the drill ,put the four screws back in tighten them down and you're done. I was very pleased with all the parts I received .Note : I downloaded the parts assembly of the hammer drill to make sure of the order which the parts went back in.
