I need more information to answer your problem.
The chuck normally has movement turning because of the clutch gear.
It is possible if you had a gear strip or spindle break that there are pieces of metal in the grease that have jammed your new gears. I would recommend tearing down completely, remove all the grease, thoroughly clean gearcase, regrease & reassemble.
Pack the grease in around the gears with your fingers, filling the cavity nearly full. If you cover the gears well, that would be enough. Wipe off any excess that squeezes out, if any.
Best way to draw a prime is to put a long screwdriver blade (no handle) attached to an electric drill down into the oil pump drive slot (distributor removed). I actually use a distributor that has the top cut off without the cam gear, and just attach the drill to the shaft, but the screwdriver works pretty well too. Only other option is to pack the inside of the pump with light grease, but that would require pan removal and I doubt you want to do that!! Many pumps are replaced because of low pressure but the cause is generally a bad bearing...If that's the case you may find it difficult to prime.
Most tools use grease that is supplied by the tool manufactures and you can purchase it from the proper service center. In an emergency you can use a standard ep2 grease but usually this standard grease will shorten the life of the tool or cause it to fail completely so it should be washed out as soon as possible and replaced with the proper grease the factory recommends
Depending on the type of hammer drill you have, the noise should only be heard when you are applying pressure to the material you are drilling. Some drills have 2 bump plates that cause the hammer action. This is what causes the noise. It kind of sounds like the gears are stripped but the chuck still goes just fine. You do not need to grease this, it will make this noise regardless. However you may want to take a look at the gears and make sure they are ok. You may want to add grease if the old grease is broken down or there is not enough in the gear housing. Larger hammer drills have a piston and actual hammer. Such as the Bosch Bulldog series. If it is this type and there is noise when you are in drill mode there may be more serious problems.
the grease is called turmoil grease and is somewhat expensive. This also requires just about complete disassembly of the tool and smoe parts replacement.
