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 CZcams 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 😋
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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. 🤦♂️
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.
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.
Where can you find one of these trigger switches? My buddy has a couple year old Milwaukee impact he's giving me if I can fix the trigger, and all I can find are the entire electronics harness
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.
10 excelente trabajo pero me queda la duda si poner pegamento a tornillo y al chuk sea buena idea pues si vuelve a fallar nos costaría mucho trabajo volver a repararlo Me refiero a quitar estas 2 piezas
Ketemu lagi dari komentar sebelah channel ini konten nya mantap semoga bisa kerja sama, kontennya mantap bos trus semangat semoga sukses,salam dari saya...🤣 🤣
I’m glad you used a DeWalt to help out Milwaukee. They are good old friends after all!!!
Yet help none
I'm in awe of anybody that can do this kind of work. I could NEVER get it back together right . . .
You just lay out the parts on the desk in the order you take them apart and you won’t have a problem putting them back together
he got the video xD
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'm not even going to attempt it I'm buying a new drill 🙄
It helps to take pictures or video of yourself taking things apart just to stay on the safe side of having to put so many pieces back together.
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.
I had a prob with my chuck till I hit it with the graphene spray…. Fixed all my issues….
@@philwell76 What does the graphite lube do to remedy the worn chuck?

I just swap it out for a keyed chuck immediately
You replaced more than you restored

In my Makita you can't assemble it the wrong way because every gear has different inner diameter

I took my old drill apart last year and couldn't figure out how to get it back together you just saved a drill for me
Red locktite. Looks like it’s never gonna be torn down again.
How not?
@@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.
@@JakePlisskin12 it’s red locktite lol
@@JakePlisskin12 Red loctite is a near permanent fix, blue loctite is more difficult than without but not as permanent as red.
Milwaukee guys hate Makita so badly that they won't even use blue loctite
I've had this drill for about 6 years constantly working with hardwood. Great tool, very reliable. Dropped into a bucket of water and still works.
The metal roof installer left his drill in my yard over a very rainy weekend, the drill and charger still worked fine, that’s when I bought mine.
That gearbox is really well made. Those tiny needle bearings at 9:28 are a nice touch.
It was these bearings that surprised me
- 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 was amazed too

Lots of work, great result. Looks like you know your way with assembly and parts available.
After seeing this the price of a new drill is a bargain!
Thnk u so much for your video. It definitely helped me take it all apart and back together again and gave it a good cleaning. 😁👍
Impressive rebuild skills. Also shows how much gunk & sawdust can get far down into the drills. But that was an old or heavily used hammer drill.
Good job on that repair, what model is the Maquita drill you were using for the repair? Sounds pretty solid
It is nice to be able to get parts to be able to make these repairs.
where did he get part from
Ave would be proud with that clamshell elation separation
So far thats the best model they ever did, bought mine in 2014 Just die in 2022, it got repaired once, I heard the new ones don't do that good.
best Milwaukee drill ever made!
Impressive my friend thanks for the video it will no doubt help a lot of people including me. Thanks
That poor Milwaukee drill just needed some love ❤️ ❤️❤️🙂🙂🙂 make Milwaukee great again 🙂 nice job 👏
Well well done! Wow love it
Complimenti per la precisione e competenza.

Amazing that he film this. Gotta love ppl like this!!!!
@Good Bye I do.
Get a full new gearbox much easier and better in the long run
Be careful when taking off the chuck you can snap the gearbox very easy cause most of the time it's seized
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.
чудова робота !
That's overkill on the loctite. All you need is a drop or two at most for a bolt that size
I'd get it if he used blue but he used red😭
Correct both comments. Only high-heating will save him next time.
Maybe important due to the hammer drill function which might shake it loose otherwise.
Nope still overkill
Nice work. 👏👏👏
I’m going to need this guy on my team during an apocalypse.

i have the exact same drill with a broken anvil and i was wondering where you got yours sinc i cant fined any
Quedó nuevo 👌👌👌👌
Отличная работа! Какого года эта дрель?...
Good video but I want to know what driver you are using and where you got those driver bits.
I hate when I need replace Milwaukee drill chuck because of that screw, but I'm using alen key to unscrew, but I put drill in vise
So many little bits! Is there somewhere a schematic to assemble it all back together?
Thanks for the video, i was just wondering where you could get the spares from? cheers
Nice job ..keep it up bro
Where did you source spart parts for the gearbox? I only need the parts on video at 3.11
great job, yor the man...

Bom trabalho.
Just because i want to try the same thing... How did you search for it?
For those remplacenent parts
so much insight the red team tools
Did you have to buy a new/as new drill to do this whole exercise for the spare parts?
Top esplicacáo muito bom
Well made drill
Very difficult to re assemble the parts you pro master

The best tools.
what type of greese do you use for power tools? ive been having a hard time finding stuff that actually works
molybdenum disulphide grease (CV joint grease) is good for metal vs metal parts
Use Lucas Red 'n Tacky
