I had the exact same problem and your video was everything I needed to walk through repairing my drill. Thank you so much for the clear and direct info.
You're welcome!
Excellent video, just fixed 2 of my Dewalts watching this step by step Thank you
That's fantastic! I post these videos to help. Thanks for the comment. Likes and comments help the channel.
Great fix vid! had the exact same issue but was able to loosen the stuck brush. notes: Torx driver T10 is good for all the bolts. the motor stator sits a little bit off angle within the housing (it's subtle but if seated wrong, it's very difficult to button everything back up). Cheers!
Awesome video - Clear step by step instructions which helped me fix my dewalt. Saved me some cash for sure....definitely deserved the like and subscribe I've just done
Glad it helped! Thanks for the Comment too!
Another successful repair!
Plenty more to come thank you for commenting
Thanks brother for sharing this video,,its a big help for us using the DeWALT DcD 985 3 speed and hummer option🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪
Thanks for commenting I love that drill it's brushed older tech but good and powerful
It is amazing how many of different symptoms end up being bad brushes, sometimes even motor whine ends up being dirty commutator and used up brushes.
commutator can be cleaned nicely with fine grit sandpaper or steel woll.
Also, i highly recommend getting an aliexpress "Dental Probe Hook", you can get that for super cheap. These picks are really amazing when it gets to manipulating and removing brush holder springs in tight spaces with no damage to get brushes out of place and so making it much easier to disassemble and reassemble some motors - Brush springs can damage brushes when assembling the motor back together, this is a much bigger problem in brushed angle grinders ( looking at you, Metabo! ) where your brush holder is inside the machine with only side access but you need to push in the motor armature without good access or clear way to move brushes out of the way.
At least these old tools are easily fixed even tho dewalt wants a "new x20v lidl drill" money for their tool brush sets. It is possible instead to buy generic brushes and solder them existing onto brush holder.
I'm currently fixing a brushless DCD796 and these BLDC tools are much bigger pain in the ass to fix. mine has a burnt 100 ohm resistor and diode in input voltage part. I ordered parts and now i wait.
Brushed tools are enjoyable to fix
followed your instructions and found the motor where the brushes make contact has a copper plate ripped off, ordered a new one for $22 on ebay, hopefully she runs again
always clean the armature contacts when installing new brushes. It will reduce sparks and brush wears.
Great advice thanks
Thank you for a very helpful video. Did the light come on when pressing the trigger before you replaced the brushes?
I think it does
Great video, thanks. If you want to replace don't the chuck do we need to take the drill apart?
I never take the drill apart to replace the chuck I saw it of with the grinder if it's too tight
i am enjoyed watching the procedure thank you but carious whats happen and what is this piece you replaced it?
It was a new brush card I fitted they were stuck and not making contact with the armature
Thank, I dropped my drill in oil and had to clean it, I'm still working on it, only reverse works ,fingers crossed
Good luck!

Hi. Why is mine turning the opposite way when i reverse or the other way.. and the reverse is a little slower than the other.
They should be the same speed both ways if forward and reverse are mixed up swap the black and red wires on the switch check the brushes are making good contact and the spring pushing the brushes down is in place for the speed issue
