This guide will show you how to replace the gearcase assembly on the Dewalt DW511 Hammer Drill. The gearcase is responsible for the translation of motion between the motor and the spinning bit, controlling the speed and torque of the motion. The gearcase is attached to the armature, so the entire assembly will need to be removed as one piece.
