Step 5

Place the driver flat on a table before completely separating the two halves of the housing so components of the drill don’t fall out during opening.
Pry apart the two halves of the housing at the back side of the driver using the metal spudger.
The housing is easier to remove if you pry from multiple sides.

Step 6

Do not remove the direction switch.
Pull out all electrical components from housing by hand.
Lift out the motor.

The components should come out of their respective slots with ease and require little force to lift out.
The circuit board located nearest the battery pack and the LED light will be hard to pull out.
Remember to precisely place all components in their correct slots with their correct orientations when reassembling.
