Top up the transmission with PAG150 oil. The Bosch stuff is hideously expensive, but it's the same as the 150-grade oil used in car a/c systems. I fill them so the oil *just* covers the big gear.

It sounds like the issue with your Bosch bulldog extreme max hammer is likely due to worn out or damaged brushes. Here are the steps to remove and replace the brushes:

1. Unplug the hammer drill from the power source.
2. Remove the two screws on the top of the hammer drill handle with a screwdriver.
3. Lift off the top of the handle to expose the motor.
4. Locate the brush holders on either side of the motor.
5. Gently pull out the brush holder on one side of the motor.
6. Remove the brush from the holder by gently pulling it straight out.
7. Repeat for the other side of the motor.
8. Inspect the brushes for damage, wear, or discoloration. Blackening of the brushes is normal, but if they are excessively worn or damaged, they should be replaced.
9. Insert the new brushes into the brush holders, making sure they are properly seated.
10. Replace the brush holder on one side of the motor, then the other.
11. Reattach the top of the handle and replace the screws.

Regarding the digs in the motor surface, if they are not too deep and do not appear to affect the operation of the motor, they may not need to be addressed. However, if they are deep or if they appear to be affecting the motor's performance, it may be necessary to replace the motor. It's important to note that working on power tools can be dangerous and should only be attempted by those with the necessary knowledge and experience. If you're unsure about any step in the process, it's best to seek the help of a professional.

Hold the chuck by its sleeve, put the drill in reverse (make sure it's set at high torque if you used it in a drill/driver) and go full speed. That should release the bit.

The red light flashing at the rear of your DeWalt D26501 could indicate a few different issues with the tool. Here are some potential causes and troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Battery issue: If you're getting full power but the tool won't run, it's possible that the battery is not delivering the correct voltage or is not making proper contact with the tool. Try removing the battery and reseating it firmly in the tool, making sure it clicks into place. If the battery is still not delivering power properly, try charging it fully or using a different battery to see if that resolves the issue.
2. Trigger issue: If the red light flashes but the tool does not run when you press the trigger, it's possible that there is an issue with the trigger itself or with the wiring connecting it to the motor. Try checking the trigger for any visible damage or debris, and make sure it moves freely when pressed. You may also need to check the wiring connections inside the tool to ensure they are secure and not damaged.
3. Motor issue: If neither the battery nor the trigger seem to be the issue, it's possible that there is a problem with the motor itself. This could be caused by a number of factors, including a burned-out motor or a malfunctioning component inside the tool. If this is the case, you may need to take the tool to a professional technician or contact DeWalt customer service for assistance.

Overall, troubleshooting issues with power tools can be challenging, and it's important to take appropriate safety precautions when working with them. If you're unsure about how to proceed or are not comfortable working on the tool yourself, it's best to seek professional assistance.

To remove the chuck from a Wilmar KFF-6 drill, follow these steps:

1. Turn off and unplug the drill.
2. Locate the chuck key that came with the drill.
3. Insert the key into the chuck and turn it counterclockwise to loosen the jaws of the chuck.
4. Remove the chuck key from the chuck.
5. Grasp the chuck with one hand and hold the handle of the drill with the other hand.
6. Turn the chuck counterclockwise to remove it from the spindle.

If the chuck is stuck and won't loosen, you may need to apply some penetrating oil to the threads and let it sit for a few minutes before attempting to remove the chuck again. You can also try using a rubber mallet to gently tap the chuck counterclockwise to loosen it.

With that being said, be advised that leaving the screwdriver on the charger after fully charged may overcharge it and also shorten its battery life. Therefore, it is recommended to unplug the unit from the charger after charging.

It's possible that there are hidden clips or other fasteners holding the Kobalt 3.6 V battery operated screwdriver together. If you've removed all visible screws and it still won't come apart, you may want to try prying it open gently with a plastic pry tool or a flathead screwdriver. Alternatively, you can check the user manual or contact the manufacturer's customer support for specific instructions on how to replace the battery. They may have special tools or procedures for disassembling the tool that are not immediately apparent.

I have the same problem. It got progressively worse over time. The chuck did not want to tighten all the way at times and then got stuck open. There is a screw in the center to hold the chuck on. It is a left hand thread and I believe it loosened and the jaws became jammed on the loose screw. I tapped on the screw using a screwdriver and was able to tighten it a bit thus allowing the jaws to free. I removed the screw, put some thread locker on the threads and reassembled it. Seems fine now

To open a Dustbuster cordless lithium model HLVC320J01, you will need to use a flathead screwdriver. Start by locating the screws on the underside of the device.

Yes, the issue you're describing with the green power light coming on but the tool not functioning could be related to the trigger/switch. A malfunctioning trigger/switch can prevent the tool from operating properly. You may want to test the trigger/switch with a multimeter to see if it is functioning properly. If the trigger/switch is not the issue, it could be with the motor or power supply. In that case, I would recommend reaching out to a professional for repair
