This guide will show you how to replace a defective gear lock button. With only a few steps and a few tools you will be able to open up the device and gain access to the faulty button. The button can then be easily swapped out for a new one.

    • Locate the battery at the back of your Dremel. Firmly grasp the battery on both sides and pull. It should easily come out of the battery well.

  2. dA4aRY2VJ3DZjLVJ
    • Remove the ring located around the speed selector switch by pulling apart on either side. This should require very minimal force.

  3. hO6GdP4eUe5A1yPP
    • Remove the collar wrench by pushing the gear lock button. Continue to hold this button as you rotate the wrench counter-clockwise until it is removed.

  4. dlatYTgQA6fYpsbc
    • Remove the metal clasp from the battery well. This piece helps hold the plastic shell of the device together. Pry it out by gently applying some force with a screwdriver.

I’m assuming the issue I have is a faulty gear-lock button (that, or the locking gear that it restricts when depressed). If so, did you find a replacement button from the manufacturer? In my experience, they rarely offer repair parts themselves.

I also don’t understand why there was a flag claiming that this should be broken into separate guides. People aren’t THAT stupid, I hope.
