Makita Brushless Combi Drill - fixing the slipping gear problem DHP486 & XTX14

[@philjennensify]

This fixed my drill that never had a working first gear. Took me 25mins to do and didn't need any new parts. Thanks heaps

[@Radovakos]

Great to hear!

[@FlybyLV]

Thank you man! So it's just about changing the position of the pins and there should be no slipping. Kinda a nice and easy fix then!

[@Radovakos]

Yes man try and let me know how it did

[@FlybyLV]

@@Radovakos I will! Give me some days and ill test it out!

[@FlybyLV]

@@Radovakos So I didnt manage to get to the fix. Went for a fishing trip, while drilling holes in ice (with the handle) the machine broke in half. In the cross section of the body where it broke in half its possible to see more porous/dark alumium which I suspect is not properly cast. However Makita Latvia is n different thoughts of that and guess I will have to fix for my own cash ;/ Unfortunately over yt can not send you a picture, because it is a sight to behold, never it had happened with any drills.

wrong tool for the job @@FlybyLV

[@FlybyLV]

@@gaffenz1137 DHP486 it is literally sold together in a set with an ice drill. And using gear 1 on drill mode (not hammer). Do you think DDF486 is better then for that or?

[@atnamesarelame]

[@Salverstein]

Interesting.i found this video I'm looking how to replace gearbox. Shall I Dismantle brand new gearbox and reposition pins before putting into the drill?

Muito boa a explicação. Muito obrigado, Graças a esse vídeo consegui consertar a minha dhp486. A assistência técnica queria substituir a caixa de engrenagens completa. Good work!! Tanks very much!

This seemed to work for the 40v combi drill. But when I did it on the 18v model that you have here, there's a weird grinding noise every time speed 2 engages. The gear seems to catch better but I'm not sure what the grinding noise is now. I've gone over it a few times and can't figure it out. Really hate how bad these drills suck between this issue and the chuck turning the gears when tightening a bit down by hand.

Thank you so much. I have now subscribed.

Mine been fixed by makita like 4 times and now it's out of warranty. But it now doesn't sound very agreessive when you pull the trigger and stop. And it sounds like my gears are fucked but not completely fucked will this fix make it back to how it's meant to or am I past that point? Drill still looks brand new it's barely been used constantly in the dam shop to get repaired.

[@konaononjepon1582]

Does this work on 40v hammer drill

[@joelloyd158]

I tried it and yeah it seemed to help.

[@konaononjepon1582]
