I changed grease in the planetary reductor in my Makita drill and it's actually pretty easy considering I didn't have a manual in front of me. With manual it becomes even easier knowing where every shim goes and in what sequence
I have the same model drill--not quite as bad as that one, but close. I never thought about replacing the chuck. That would solve the most annoying problems it has. Thanks for the video.
@@thenoneckpeoplerepresentat8074 no idea exactly, it wouldn’t release a bit and would sometimes stay on forward when switching to reverse…not sure but sprayed down the nose and it seemed to fix it…
I have the same model, and the original chuck was just fine but it was voluntarily recalled and I sent it in for the service and they replaced the chuck with the third generation (red inset ring on the collar, as included on the 2804) and it was good as new. Mine never had problems and it was ridden hard. You can always ask Milwaukee if they can do anything for you under warranty. Replacing the chuck is easy to do, or you can have a service centre do it for you, whether through Milwaukee or an authorized/certified business.
Ever take apart a M18 2704, completely clean it spotless but forget to remember the order of the million transmission parts in the gearbox and spend 3 hours searching RU-vid for a tutorial video only to find out there isn’t one and have to trial and error it like 4 times? Then find a repair video 3 months after you finally figure it out? Ya… me neither Awesome video!!! 3 months late but thank you… lol Looks great BTW! 👍
Serviceable tools from all major brands have schematics available, typically on the same site you order replacement parts from. Same is true for household appliances, cars, serviceable consumer goods, etc. Next time start searching for schematic and/or service manual and you won't be wasting a whole day and still be thinking about it 3 months later.
@@JakePlisskin12 because its lock tight u dope red lock tight is basically permanent seal especially with a small fastner like that .. yea that shit aint ever coming apart again lol.
- Bad that there is no such bearings on all sattilites. Sure last level of sattelite reductor need them more, but it all reduce losses at friction, etc.
I think I bought my Milwaukee Hammer Drill back in 2001-2002. It gets regular use, and aside from having to replace a few batteries (never a good idea to leave it in an unheated garage during the winter), I've never taken it apart to maintain it. It started acting up a few days ago. After changing a bit, I couldn't get it to work in the normal direction, but it would work in reverse. I pulled the battery off and put it back on again, then it worked. Then when I got up on a ladder and had the drill tilted up, it wouldn't work again. Left it for a few days, and it worked fine, but seemed to run out of power quickly. As much as I'd like a new drill with a shorter profile and all the features that I love in this one, I'm not anxious to PAY for it. (New batteries were bad enough!) So thank you for this video. Now I'm gonna crack this puppy open and see how far I can get before I chicken out!
The milwaukee impacts are great and work with hex shank drill bits. You can also go with their M12 line if you use it for lighter duty. Don’t need to, just a thought if it doesn’t work. Good luck with your project!
Used same gen 2 milwaukee working as a fuel mechanic, gasoline and diesel dissolved the rubber molding and the chuck worn out. Still a great drill for a rainy day .
Thanks for the video. Got the same unit and have wanted to do this myself but having this will make it alot easier. Can you do a video on the sawzall next 😋
Keyless Chuck Assembly and Gearbox costs 150$, new Milwaukee M18-2704 costs 120$. I'm speechless. It's cheaper to throw away as repair. Green world, ecology. 🤦♂️
Nice work. Nice video. I've got a couple of 18s that are sloppy like you showed. I also have some crap 12 volts that didn't last a year and they don't work.
Wow these drills have more moving parts than a Swiss pocket watch! Very nice work. How do you clean the rubber over molding without destroying it? I tried to clean a saw up for a present and the black rubber changed colors with just a light scrub.
One wonders what the cost savings is incurred by repairing this drill vs buying a new one. I don't know but if someone does please let me know. It looks like a lot of work went into this repair. Thanks for sharing this video. 😁👍🇨🇱🇺🇸
having repaired a couple of metabo power tools at home before, my experience is that the savings generally don't warrant the effort. I repaired a mid size impact wrench and the gearbox assembly alone (the part that had failed) was 2/3rds the cost of a new tool. If the electronics, the trigger mechanism or the battery had failed also it would've have been cheaper buying new. I have a grinder I wanted to repair but I wasnt sure which part had failed and it was cheaper buying new than starting to disassemble, fault find and order multiple new parts until I got it sorted. I'm not sure why manufacturers make spare parts so expensive.
@@funnystuffenstufff So true. I have some cool 50s to 70s cast aluminum 110v bodied tools I’ve rebuilt and rarely use. It’s not that they don’t work, they’re cool but the newer lithium ion tools work better and parts availability/research can definitely be a chore. I’ve also abused 2 Metabo grinders daily for about 15 years and they just w o n ‘ t die! Their 5’’ and 9’’ grinders are pretty stellar (IMO). Don’t remember how many cordless chucks I’ve replaced though.
@Good Bye You’re right, 100%. It’s a sad fact that today’s products are cheaper to replace than repair. The real cost is hidden though, our grandchildren will pay it.
They come with a five year warranty so if you use it everyday it's well worth buying one. My buddy owns a repair shop and he doesn't see too many Milwaukee's coming through the door.
You are freaking awesome I have watched four videos before I found yours and you may not like to call people out but you should as somebody who is competent it is important for people to know that when they get to that video that dude's a nimrod so you have a responsibility to the intelligence of the world to let people know that somebody's not too bright and they shouldn't be listening to them... With great power comes great responsibility. You're my today hero
I have this drill and I am about to retire it from mainstream use. In comparison to the new drills, this one is heavy and that really effects it’s daily use. Much cheaper and easier to just replace with a updated drill. Still cool to watch though. 👍👍
@@ziolan8970 if you're a little tight on cash the m12 line is still fantastic. Failing that, ryobi is actually owned by milwaukee but made to a more diy spec
We would chuck a large allen wrench into the jaw, and slam the allen end with a hammer in the clockwise direction. Do this a couple times, remove the allen wrench, and then loosen the center nut. Worked every time.
I wasn't surprised how quickly and easily the Milwaukee drill was taken apart, but on the other hand putting all of its parts together again is a real headache. You should have mentioned in your video that new and unskilled users of this machine should be careful because reassembling this machine after disassembly is very difficult.
Do you have any idea where I can find a drill chuck for a craftsman c3 19volt drill it was a gift a long time ago. I transitioned over to Milwaukee now but still use a few c3 tools circle saw and air pump mostly. Good job rebuilding the drill.
А у меня Милка уже 8 лет, за всё время досталось только импакту больше всего, раз 5 с крыши падал, зимой взял новый помощнее... А ещё у сабельки шина питающая перетерлась в одном месте, а ремонта на 1см изоленты
@@user-cv5yz4om9p посмотри внимательно что делает этот парень на канале. Это съемка наоборот, испортить, типа починить, в конце показать изначальный вид устройства
Interesting video..I have the same drill I took to have repaired and supposedly sent back to Milwaukee.Chuck and gear box supposedly replaced.It seemed noisier when returned but worked.Less than a year later in 1 position and when drilling and pressure applied it grinds and slips. Any ideas what has gone wrong.I really don’t use the drill that often.Surprised it is failing already.
At least its functioning. I got one to work on the other day. Said it was fine. Changed the battery with a fresh one and pulled the trigger and it slightly turned led was on then nothing. Its brushless. I tried turning the chuck tight so the motor would rotate but i couldnt turn it. Im pretty sure it should rotate like any other cordless. If he will bring me a battery ill start checking things
Drill head in vice, first screw is reverse thread. Second is standard thread with red locktite. Drill head in a vice snuggly and a cheater bar on the torx/allen key. 50/50 the drill snaps before the screw. Either way its being worked on for a reason lol
