Great Video. I love my DeWalt DC988, I still use mine on an daily basis and it's still going strong. I've had mine for so long I can't even remember when I bought it, it must be min 12 years ago. I'm sure the key to keeping these machines going is not to over stress them. Be kind to it and wisely use the 3x gears that DeWalt gave it. I will be very upset when mine finally lets go. Amazing little gearbox
i have a problem with those 3 pieces of metal at 15:56 i cant get them to line up 2 are in and the third is on top of second piece can you help me.Thanks btw for the gearbox hel i couldn’t do it myself:)
Thanks for the response! If you're talking about the clutch ring, or those ring parts that I flipped around, there are divots that index with the casing. Sometimes it might be easier to put pieces together on the table so you know what it looks like when it's assembled. Just keep at it and you'll get there 😁
@@classydays43thank you i did it my drill sounds like a new drill without the chuck only the motor and gearbox because bearing pn that chuck holder is bad and i dont know how to change it can you help me.Where can i send you a video od that bearing?
@@PASKY-fb8ts You want to remove the chuck to get to the bearing between the chuck and adjuster collar because the collar and that bearing is removed towards the chuck end. There's a bolt inside the chuck that honestly takes a lot of work to remove. The bolt inside the chuck is a reverse thread and can range from a hex head to a Phillips head so look inside to see what it is. I didn't bother with my drill because the bearing was still good. There are plenty of videos on how to remove a cordless drill chuck which is why I never talked about it. If I remember right, there is also a tiny circlip holding the bearing in there so you might need to fashion a little something to pull it out. If the dust seal on the bearing is damaged and you can't read the numbers, bearings are measured by Outside Diameter, Inside Diameter, and width.
@@classydays43 i remowed the chuck it was easy but the problem is the bearing is moving up and down with a spring but there is that thing that does the hammer thing that doesnt allow the bearing to get of i cant describe it can isend you a video somewhere
Sorry about that - I'm not excellent with video production. The clutch assembly is interesting in this one. The collar has an incline that interacts with a rod that goes right through the outside of the gearbox assembly and interacts with the clutch mechanism at the back. I couldn't work out how to disassemble that collar. With my other drills, the clutch assembly is in that collar. Personally, this decision by DeWalt was a weird one but I guess it made it more compact. On this drill in particular, the clutch was broken in three pieces so it didn't work. Being a sintered metal, there was no way to repair it short of machining a new part.
Helped rebuild a drill gearbox I'd taken apart, 8:05 I had no idea where those pins were supposed to go

It really is an awesome drill. Once the brushes and batteries were replaced for this one it now runs like a dream.
dewalt dcd 709 type 2 reassemble please

@@PASKY-fb8ts perhaps uploading a video to your own channel will help me to understand what you're talking about?
Try and error video in poor quality, missing mounting of details like clutch …….

Battery low!
NiCad batteries are so awful. I found a Makita LXT - old school DeWalt adapted that really brings this drill to life.
