Cautionary Note About Skill-Bosch Drill motors!!!!!
DO NOT attempt to unsolder the wires that are attached to the Skill-Bosch motors. The plastic housing that holds the brush assemblies will be damaged if you do. The high temperature of the soldering process causes the plastic to deform and destroys the motor. Teams should make their electrical power connections to the motors’ pre-attached wires, not directly to the brush holders.

Regardless, letting out the magic smoke is always a bad thing. Most of the above posts have covered the various ways to do this.
