On some drills, you will have to remove the case on the housing and remove the two screws securing the transmission to the drill on the same side the cover is located on. Insert a small screwdriver in the access hole, close to the center of the housing, and gently pry out the brush. Locate the spade connectors and remove them with pliers. Remove the screws on the end cap and pull off the drill. To check the condition and replace these brushes, if needed, start by removing the battery.
