Neglected Cord Drill Restoration - 2006 Bosch GSB1600

- This is the restoration and repair of the 2006 Bosch GSB1600RE corded impact drill which was neglected and used daily in construction sites till 2011, after that it was used around the house mostly as a driver but also did jobs like dough mixing.
It had a lot of cement and plaster debris on it and also smeared aluminum and iron from a recent head port and polish and engine rebuild i've done.
It also had a problem with the chuck leaking electricity, it turns out a wire was worn and was touching the rotor's bearing.
The end results of this restoration are outstanding even though it is a mild job as its materials (mostly plastic), except of the wire, do not deteriorate overtime.

For those who say this wasn't a restoration... This is a 15 years old working drill which needed maintenance to be restored back to perfect working condition... I'm not dipping things in Acid on purpose nor smearing dirt and rust like paint over them just to show my self restoring totally ruined stuff afterwards. If you want this, there are specific channels that are doing it.
Thanks for watching everyone!
Beautiful!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot man!
Ok cool thx bro for your quick response on my query ...Keep it up we love watching your videos. Cheers
Thanks a lot for your positive feedback! Unfortunately i lack of time lately so my channel is a little outdated. :(
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
nice job man
Thank you!
Nice
Thanks a lot. :)
great work with detail, could you also please show us Bosch Chuck cleaning. In this video you cleaned only the outside of chuck.
Thank you very much! I would like to remove it sometime but until now i haven't messed with it, some air blowing and a little WD-40 usually works okay for me. If i proceed doing this i would upload a video.
Good video. I have got primary model of Bosch drilling machine ( without reverse key) but the outer casing getting heated up. Whether bush problem, checked for armature short problem , no problem in it.please reply .I think greasing is too much.
👍 😍
Thanks for your comment! :)
Hi what soap did you use for the plastic casing and trigger?
I degreased it with white spirit then i used dish soap along with washing machine detergent powder, then washed it off using plain liquid hand soap, works wonders.
Thank you for making this video. I bought a used GSB 16 RE (same model with GSB 1600), and need some direction to clean and regrease it. After seeing this, I have enough gut to diassembly the drill. One more question, what kind of liquid lubricant did you use for the bearings?
Hello! I'm glad you've found this useful. I used some thin sewing machine oil for the bearing, usually they don't need any oil as oil will gunk them up with shavings as friction takes place, instead of having the dust going out, but i thought it would be beneficial.
@@truebassB I read Makita Instruction Manual that show which parts need to be lubricated/greased. All bearing need lubricant, and the gear should be greased when necessary.
I think you need to update the video caption up there to include some information about kind of liquid, lubricant used in the video (mineral spirits, dish soap, sewing machine oil, lithium grease).
@@budeelim Hello. As many people have asked, i find this a good idea, i'll do my best to add captions or info in the description as soon i'll get the chance. As for the bearing, it depends to the oil, some heavy oils i've used in similar applications in the past on good bearings were nowhere close to beneficial and actually collect debris inside which increase friction after they mix with metal dust, thus this time i used a light sewing machine oil.
Great work mann!!How did you get the power in wires out of the trigger switch....plzzzz
Some call them "trap door" connections where the wire is pushed in and then gripped by a pair of sprung jaws. If you look closely where the wire goes into the switch, you should see a small hole adjacent to where the wire goes in. If you push a small screwdriver in to the hole it should release the wire. I use a small Torx screwdriver from a set jewellers use. I've just replaced the switch on a Makita SDS drill today. You could also use a fine drill bit, something rigid. I've tried paper clips with little success. HTH.
Hi great job.. I have question on drill heating.. the drill heats up once turn on.. is it problem with armature or winding coil. I am not able to figure out.. any guidance will be helpful.
Hello. If you clear out the possibility that it might be normal, there might be a short somewhere, if this is the case, carbon powder might be the issue. Try reassemble it and blow it with compressed air to be sure it is clean of powder and potential metal shavings. Sorry for my late reply.
What cleaner did you use on the motor ? Thanks.
Hello. It was White Spirit to dissolve grease and whatever was embedded in it,then i took it all off using a rag and i evaporated the rest with a hair blower. Took quite an effort but anything stronger or an acid/base could have of caused damage to the insulating varnish of the magnet wire.
What liquid did you used to clean the grease in 7:00 ? thanks u!
It's plain mineral spirits, i would normally use diesel
Drill something after restoration
Hello. Yes i dismissed doing it! :( Thanks for watching!
The type of grease you used for the gears is not the right one, with a bit of heat it will become warm oil, leaking everywhere.
You should have used heat resistant grease with lithium which is specially designed for gears and ball bearings.
You're right it's a multipurpose grease, i had some lithium grease for wheel bearings but it didn't seem to be anywhere in sight. Generic lithium grease is useable up to 120c, this one will be more like water in even lower temperatures, but i doubt this drill will ever work hard enough to get luke warm let alone exceed the grease's temperature range. Lubrication properties are more of an issue, but it's still better than the old one which was full of metal grit after working a decade in construction sites.
@@truebassB I am in the process of restoring an old drill that the previous owner replaced the grase in the gearbox. The reason I am restoring it is because there is oil (not grase) everywhere inside and outside the drill. I have open the gearbox and discovered the general purpose grease has melted into a slimy gunk. Drills can get hot and if you have taken the time and effort to restore a drill, why not give the gears good quality grease? it will not take much extra money.
If your restored drill is for show only and never with the intention to put it to work, not a problem. But maybe it will start leaking oil even in a hot day.
Thanks for the reply and for the videos too.
@@redangrybird7564 It was not a money issue, more like an issue with completing the video on time showing the process because it would have been laying around for another month without progress.
Yours sounds like it's a disaster, let alone the dust that will be stuck on the grease.
By the way regardless the grease used i've had an idea (which i didn't implement) of sealing the gearbox with RTV for such issues as even the lithium grease does melt, the older drills with the metallic gearbox were sealed but this type is not.
Thanks for your comment and for watching this video, i don't have much traffic but i always reply to everyone.
I think I did the same error...
Good job... Bro please can you confirm name of different chemicals which you have used for cleaning different things?
They were pretty much just mineral spirits, dish soap and washing machine detergent. Also some silicone spray for restoring the plastic look.
