Repairing a Milwaukee M18 FHZ Recip Saw that is totally seized and won't run.

[@mkl5448]

1000 thank you's for taking time to post this, although my issue was not exactly the same, I had to break it down to clean it and get it moving again. This was a huge help and a Big time saver.

[@deandohertygreaser]

Glad it helped

❤ Beautiful Take-Apart (and you kept your senses).... but my Gad Man, this means you had your Milwaukee past their 5 year tool help Warranty. This situation just happened just happened to my m18 on the Jobsite tryin' to prune a Palm Tree. Will make me a pot of coffee first then decide to follow your Lead or look carefully for my 4 year plus buried tool Receipt.

He repairs other peoples tools btw. Also in Europe we only get a 1 year warranty, 3 if you redeem it in the first month after buying.

@@IDuBStepSZ Hi! Thank You for the tip! Yep, I saw my M18 tool receipt was past 5 years, but I sure was lucky in "bringin' my saw back to life" just like he did. Basically, my metal "sleeve/slide" thingy inside the joint had gotten so hot until it kind of melted a bit. Was able to "grind-off" some heated metal and added grease and graphite everywhere, and got things reciprocating again. Forgot to check here if this video is the same one that showed us all to be very careful when opening/exposing the "opposite/reverse" gearbox area. i was able to grease up that area as well without movin' the gears at all (maybe just a little but...). My HackZall's workin' just fine now.

I managed to fix this same problem buy soaking the shaft in WD40 and the putting the blade in a vice and pulling the tool back and fourth

[@Tony-tone707]

Did you take it apart

[@dankelly2979]

@@Tony-tone707 no mate, put it in the vice vertically with the blade facing up so the oil was soaking down and then put all my weight on it and pulled the trigger a few tines

[@fargogemini694]

[@bobbyrosa4652]

[@陈巧亮-p6m]

How did you clean the parts？

[@3SonsMusic]

What kind if bit are you using to remove the screws holding the case together?

[@jhamidhaynes2604]

What brand of grease did you use?

[@georgedela9063]

Great video dude, helped out a ton. I had the same problem but one of the bearings had seized instead of the shaft.

[@WilliamBusch-c5u]

Yea youve done this a few times. When your just tossing screws and parts to the side with little care, youve done this a few times

Not good due to the blade big vibration

[@solid_snake9708]

Its a bit of a old comment but for anyone else who comes across this and is fixing the same model tool, When you put the two half's back together they have to be set opposite of each other. If you remove the metal discs from each half there is what looks like a key way that you are supposed to insert a plastic key that Milwaukee sells with there rebuild kit, Just make sure the key way lines up by eye when putting the two half's together and you should be fine and you will get none of the blade vibration you see here.

[@nicholasphillips5406]

Do you have a link for that key?

[@littledutchboy6834]

What grease do you use ?

[@erinsquirkychannel501]

Same question i was just Goin to ask Lucas is good has higher temp before breaks down but not sure the weight he's using it's on the thicker side, ambient electric contact cleaner to clean inside switches armatures bearings ex.

[@IDuBStepSZ]

Bosch tool grease, he has two different ones, one is basically nlgi2 or 1.5, the other is nlgi 1. some expensive stuff when I looked it up.

[@Lifelivenaged]

Hey. BUd thanks my baure 20 volt was smoking after I reconnected the green wire to the circuit board... this video helped me to get it to run again. Fix this one and save the money. Thanks friend

Had the same problem hit it with kroil and freed right up best stuff ever made

[@Jasshands1]

I was pruning a tree. Brand new tool and now the front great part has a bit of play in it and squeaks. Debating going back and grabbing a new one or sending it in to Milwaukee.

good job mate, thanks
