The drill has lasted me almost 10 years at this point of light usage. I opened it for the first time to re-grease with some lithium grease, and noticed despite it saying brushed motor it sure looks like I'd need a Dremel to open this. Figured I'd ask if anyone has seen similar and if so, is there a trick to opening this when the the brushes wear out?

A PDF provided by motor manufacturer WEG on electric motors.

Document contains a large array of technical information from general technical information, to effects of line power and their tolerances on a motor, along with understanding how to spec a motor based on the environment it will be put in.

Book written in 1925 concerning building an electric induction motor, how to wind, effects of wiring in specific manners, along with intricate diagrams. Still a fantastic resource for layman understanding of a machine that still powers our world today.
