Step 6 – Assemble your Super Drill
Once the magnets are dry and solid push the armature back into the can, carefully lining up the fan so that it slides into place (watch you do not jamb your hands – the magnets will grab at the armature). Use a flat blade screwdriver to gently push the fan fully into place on the armature, so that it doesn’t rub on the brush housing.
Seal the front plate on, either by using an old chisel to hammer open the slits and squeeze them tight again, or use a few dabs of JB Weld or similar heat resistant glue.
That done, carefully put the brushes back into position and, test the motor with a gentle bit of throttle.
It should work fine. Now reassemble your new Super Drill and have some fun.

I have done this with a whole bunch of Bosch 24 volt battery drills now, as the broken ones are relatively cheap to pick up on e-bay.
