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. 👍👍

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 😋
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.
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 RUclips 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.
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 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.
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.
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. 🤦♂️
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
I have the same 2704, had issues with the collet, messaged Milwaukee and after handing them info and the SER# they said they will send me a new unit. A week later I received a new 2804-20 kit with two batteries and charger, I was blown away cause I expected the tool itself. My older Fuel hammer drill still works but i tried removing the damn collet bolt so I can buy a replacement collet but to avail, is it reverse thread?
because if you have exact the same model and you want to repair or clean it ,it's nice to see if you do something wrong.much respect for people who does videos like this
Realised my comment came across a bit harsh, i dont mean theres anything wrong with the video its good it just seems like everyone names these types of videos restorations to get more views. Just call it what it is...
Normal wear and tear kind of equals a fair amount of abuse with these tools. A lot of DIYers buy them, but they're built for professionals to use day in and out.
I’m sure Milwaukee would just replace it for free. I only buy Milwaukee and have never had a problem, but the only reason I buy it, is because it’s red and for that fact that everyone has told me if I ever have a problem Milwaukee will still be there for me after warranty. Not sure how true that is but I believe it
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.
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.
Got mine about 2013-2014. Looks way worse than that one. Had it apart a dozen times over the years. It got water down the chuck and now hs a Humming sound off and on.but in saying that it still works good. In fact probably smoother! I expect it to die any moment now. Will either get latest model or try hilti.
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.
Replacing the chuck is an inexpensive repair. Gen 1 fuel tools are worth keeping but, the performance and weight reduction of the latest generation will incentivize you to spend the extra money on replacing the tool over repairing it. But repairing your old tool and selling it can offset the costs of buying a new one.
RULE 1, 2 & 3 - take plenty of photographs of disassembly stages because you WILL forget about 75% of everything when you just start throwing stuff apart.
🍒 Vous avez de la chance,qu'au moment où vous remettez en place les vis , vous ne faites pas de double filet !... Pour ma part, je reviens toujours en arrière avant de revisser complètement
Doesn’t make sense outside of a monetized video, if you take into account the replacement parts cost, and the fact that the rest of the parts are still in a random state, especially battery and gears.
Seeing this I now know why Milwaukee is so Expensive and so valuable. 06:02 However this replacement part will set you back 100$ minimum. Just about as much as a brand new A+++ quality Brushless tool! HOWEVER at $400+ vs Einhell ($80) I still would go on and get the Einhell TE CD 18/50 Brushless. It's build quality is 5/10, but is solid as a rock and, did I mention CHEAP and AFFORDABLE. Sorry, simple math. Still I love Milwaukee though.
Although a person is engaged in "restoration", but in fact understands little about the practical use of the tool. Every person who understands a little bit knows that never, no, NEVER put either a cartridge or a fixing screw on a thread lock. These things themselves are tightened tightly, why else fix them?
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’m glad you used a DeWalt to help out Milwaukee. They are good old friends after all!!!
Yet help none
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
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.
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. 👍👍
Send it my way and I’ll gladly add it to my fleet lol
@@CalebsCars I’m thinking the same, I don’t have much money to spend on tools, so I’ll take the more cumbersome weight to save some extra money.

@@morscovium8881 thats why i try to fix my phones at least once before buying a new one.
"affects its daily use" you don't use a drill daily. That's cap 🧢
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.
It sounds so happy at the end. Good job!
You replaced more than you restored
Some parts can’t be fixed once they wear out like that what u expect …
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 😋
Ave would be proud with that clamshell elation separation
That poor Milwaukee drill just needed some love ❤️ ❤️❤️🙂🙂🙂 make Milwaukee great again 🙂 nice job 👏
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.
Yeah I've had plenty of people snap the bolt trying to get it out
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

Looks great BTW! 👍
In my Makita you can't assemble it the wrong way because every gear has different inner diameter

One thing I’ve learned from this video ,,, never even attempt to take one of these to pieces
After seeing this the price of a new drill is a bargain!

That's why it's filmed. The camera never forgets.

Es un fijador solamente y no hay ningún problema en quitarlo !
i have the exact same drill with a broken anvil and i was wondering where you got yours sinc i cant fined any
Good job on that repair, what model is the Maquita drill you were using for the repair? Sounds pretty solid
Отличная работа! Какого года эта дрель?...
This is a great video well done
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

Should be.

So satisfying

Repair yes .. restore no. Youve fixed and cleaned it, don't know why everyone obsessed with restoring things on youtube.

Beautiful job!
Were the damaged parts the result of 'normal' wear and tear or of misuse?
More than liekely dropped it just right and bent it. I’ve done the same thing at work a few years back

Where did you get those broken parts?
The broken parts were taken off the drill 😊 hope that helps
Good work 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Be safe
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.
Where Can you buy the new piece that is held on by 3 screws on the front of the gearbox assembly?
Did you have to buy a new/as new drill to do this whole exercise for the spare parts?
Well well done! Wow love it
So many little bits! Is there somewhere a schematic to assemble it all back together?
This seems to be much harder to maintain than an impact wrench or driver?
nice work man!
It will help heating the chuck screw slightly with a torch or heat gun
Very difficult to re assemble the parts you pro master
👍👍👍
Where do you buy this kind stuff? How much do you charge to do this kid of job on this piece?
Its cheaper to just buy a new drill
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
On mine I cannot get the chuck off. Tried everything even hammering with an impact gun. Will not budge
I could already tell that Dewalt wasn't gonna cut it 😂
Got mine about 2013-2014. Looks way worse than that one. Had it apart a dozen times over the years.

Very helpful. Thank you!
Trusted brand.
It can be used in next 10 years.
Good to know what happens when I send a tool back to milwaukee.
Is this cheaper than buying a new one? Seems like an expensive process
Good video but I want to know what driver you are using and where you got those driver bits.
With wich solution you clean de metal parts?? Amazing video!!
How much do these services cost
Torx all over. Amazing
One thing is for sure, no one is ever taking that chuck out again.
Great job.
Where did you source spart parts for the gearbox? I only need the parts on video at 3.11
Replacing the chuck is an inexpensive repair. Gen 1 fuel tools are worth keeping but, the performance and weight reduction of the latest generation will incentivize you to spend the extra money on replacing the tool over repairing it. But repairing your old tool and selling it can offset the costs of buying a new one.
Can you buy individual gear box parts for this drill? My ring gear (the one that moves when you shift 1st and 2nd gear is worn down on the outer cogs
Ton of work, definitely awesome and skilled. But not much of a reward, other than views.
Really well done and informative video. Thanks for this!
RULE 1, 2 & 3 - take plenty of photographs of disassembly stages because you WILL forget about 75% of everything when you just start throwing stuff apart.
Lol!75% more like 99% 😂I'd be able to take that all apart but, good luck putting it back together. 😅👍

What does happen with that tool before? 😱
Where did you get the parts you replaced? I need to fix mine.
This would be great if it was your own tool, but for a service shop it just is not cost practical to rebuild each component.
Clamp the hex wrench in the drill chuck and hit it sharply, the chuck will unscrew without effort.
Не считая того что шуруповёрт был немного грязным, в целом он в идеальном состоянии. Ни одной глубокой царапинки на пластиковом корпусе
Although a person is engaged in "restoration", but in fact understands little about the practical use of the tool. Every person who understands a little bit knows that never, no, NEVER put either a cartridge or a fixing screw on a thread lock. These things themselves are tightened tightly, why else fix them?
And if you do use thread lock, use it sparingly! I couldn't believe how much he used, at least 5 times as much as needed!
Brilliant 👍👏👏👏👏

I always thought the fastener for the chuck was left hand thread.
