Step 3

Grip cordless drill firmly with left hand. Grip the cordless drill handle firmly with the right hand. Rotate the handle counterclockwise in order to remove the handle from the drill.

Step 4

Hold drill upright with one hand and slide the gauge backwards to remove it with the other.

Step 5

The chuck sleeve is held on by a 20mm Phillips #2 screw in the center.This screw is reverse threaded. Insert a Phillips #2 screwdriver and rotate it clockwise to loosen and remove it.

Step 6

The threaded hole the screw was in is in the shape of a 6-point star. Insert a T40 Torx Key and rotate it clockwise to loosen and remove the chuck sleeve.

Step 7

Set the adjustable clutch to the "1" setting before beginning. This will make it easier to remove.
The adjustable clutch is held on by 2 20mm T10 Torx screws. Insert a T10 Torx screwdriver and rotate it counterclockwise to loosen and remove each screw.

Step 8

Firmly grip the outside of the adjustable clutch and pull it off.
There is a metal washer behind the adjustable clutch that holds in 12 small ball bearings. Hold the drill so it is pointing up slightly so the washer and bearings do not fall out.
