Re: Removing Bosch Drill Pins - Cause of Failure?

But after a while parts wore out on it and it just wouldn't work. So we got two new drill transmissions and left them alone. We never had any problems after that.

the clutch plate is in a completely different location from the pins (you don't need to go to that bottom layer of planets where the cluch is so i can't see any reason that THIS would have caused the problem. although it is possible that incorrect reassembling could have lead to the problem...for this reason i also recomend taking the gear boxes apart slowly and over a white piece of paper.
