I believe this was posted in regards to the 2002 and prior years drill motors. These motors had ball bearings, while ours currently have two metal tabs that sit on the face of the drill motor under the clutch. These two tabs are what the spring presses on.

If you remove the clutch, make sure that you keep, and find a way to retain these two tabs, as the motors run very poorly without them. Last year, we took the clutch off, and made our own mounts that included a pocket milled into them for the tabs to sit in.
