Bosch 36618 Drill Driver Teardown

– First things first—pop out the battery before diving into the disassembly. Safety first!

– Set up your workspace with a clean, flat surface, and make sure all the tools you’ll need are easy to grab. A little prep goes a long way!

– Unscrew the 11 T10 Torx screws from the outer casing of the drill driver.

– The screw marked in orange is a bit tucked away, so it might be tricky to reach with certain T10 screwdrivers.

– Once you’ve unscrewed those 11 exterior screws, gently pull the plastic housing pieces apart.

– Whoa, check out all that dust near the motor! That’s definitely not helping anything run smoothly!

– The second picture gives you a close-up glimpse of the side packed with all those electronic goodies.

– No tabs or plastic flaps are holding these pieces together, so just pull straight up, and they should come apart without any hassle.

– Lift the motor and chuck assembly right out, it’s as easy as pie!

– Time to disconnect those electrical connections! Don’t worry, they’re color-coded on the motor, so you won’t mix them up.

– All that’s left is the motor and chuck assembly (check out the third picture for a visual).

– To take off the chuck, grab a hex key. I didn’t go all the way with the disassembly, but you can if you want!

– Keep an eye out for the speed selector (first picture) as you pull the motor and chuck assembly away—it’s got a little slot that fits right in.

– The electrical connections are spade terminals with a sneaky locking piece on the non-flat side. Just push the lock back and gently pull the connector straight out.

– Give the motor a clockwise twist to pop it out of the chuck assembly—like opening a tricky jar, but with more wires.

– Check out picture two: that’s the connection hanging out on the chuck assembly side.

– Picture three zooms in on the connection spot for the motor side.

– The two red boxes in the first picture? That’s exactly where the split magic happens.

– Pop off the black plate covering the motor by unscrewing the two T15 Torx screws. Easy does it!

– Putting the gear (you’ll spot it on the left) back into the chuck assembly can be a bit of a dance—don’t rush it, and keep it chill.

– Here are some closeups of a few electrical connections.

– Picture 1: connections to the trigger assembly.

– Picture 2: connections on the rear of the battery receptacle.

– Picture 1: A close-up shot of the forward, reverse, and lockout assembly. Take a good look, it’s the star of the show!

– Picture 2: Watch out for that sneaky spring hiding behind the battery receptacle – it has a habit of jumping out when you least expect it!
