I recently inherited some tools from my big brother who had the temerity
to die last year. One is a Milwaukee worm drive circ saw (model 6370,
serial 368-6054). Unfortunately the gear case is broken where it
attaches to the shoe. I can order a new gear case from Milwaukee but
getting the old one off is problematic. I removed the switch handle but
pulling the electrics from the gear case is more difficult. Does anyone
have knowledge on how to do this? Milwaukee supplies a parts list and a
drawing but nothing further on servicing this tool. I would like to get
this thing running again. A new saw costs ~$150 US and the part is $50
but it did belong to big brother. I have sent an email to Milwaukee
with the same question but have not heard back. Anyway...
mahalo,

Did you look at the other diagrams? It looks as though the next one
down on the list is the same. At least the part numbers for the gear
case are the same.

Click on 54-40-2001 to get the straight poop. Much head scratching
required.

Condolences, for sure... :(
Never had one of them apart, sorry. Got a link to the parts diagram to
look at and scratch head over?

Yeah, you're right...not much help there. I've never had a red
sidewinder so no direct help. I have replaced gears in old Skill 77;
but even that has been so long ago I don't recall anything specific
about doing it.
I can only suggest that since it had to go together, it _will_ come
apart... :)
