Disassembly General Instructions

1. Do not disassemble the tool any further than necessary to replace or repair damaged parts.
2. Whenever grasping a tool or part in a vise, always use leather-covered vise jaws to protect the surface of the part and help prevent distortion. This is particularly true of threaded members and housings.
3. Always use leather-covered vise jaws when clamping the handle in a vise. Leather will conform to the shape of the handle and allow the tool to be held securely. To prevent damage to the exhaust diffuser, never clamp only the bottom of the handle.
4. Do not remove any part which is a press fit in or on a subassembly unless the removal of that part is necessary for repairs or replacement.
5. Do not disassemble the tool unless you have a complete set of new gaskets and O-rings for replacement.

Disassembly of the Impact Wrench

1. Clamp the handle of the impact wrench in a vise with leather-covered jaws with the square drive positioned horizontally. Avoid excessive clamping pressure which can damage the housing and can cause difficulty when removing the parts.
2. Unscrew and remove the four Hammer Case Screws.
3. While lightly tapping on the end of the Anvil with a plastic hammer, lift off the Hammer Case and Hammer Case Gasket.
4. The Front End Plate might come off during the removal of theHammer Case. Make sure that it does not drop on the floor or strike a hard or metallic surface since it might be damaged.
5. Grasp the Hammer Frame and carefully lift off the entire impact mechanism, making certain not to drop the two Hammer Pins.

Disassembly of the Impact Mechanism

1. Set the mechanism, driver end up, on the workbench.
2. With the mechanism sitting upright on the workbench, slowly rotate the Anvil in a clockwise direction until it comes up solid. If you continue to rotate the Anvil, it will cam the Hammers out of engagement. Don’t do this; merely rotate the Anvil until it comes up solid.
3. Hold the Hammer Frame firmly and without disturbing the hammers, gently lift the Anvil while simultaneously rotating it clockwise about 1/8 of a turn, from the Hammer Frame.
4. With the Anvil removed, lift out the two Hammer Pins. The twin hammers are now free to slide from the Hammer Frame. Be careful not to drop them.

Disassembly of the Motor

1. When pulling, disassembling or assembling the motor, we recommend replacement of the Motor Gasket.
2. Remove the Motor Assembly from the Housing by pushing on the Power Management Dial from the back of the Housing. See Dwg. TPD1322 for reference.
