To replace the brush holder on a Ridgid R3030 reciprocating saw, you will need the following tools and materials:

A Phillips head screwdriver

A flathead screwdriver

A new brush holder assembly (part number 516850001)

Instructions:

Unplug the reciprocating saw from the power source.

Remove the screws that secure the gear cover assembly to the saw.

Carefully remove the gear cover assembly.

Use the flathead screwdriver to pry the old brush holder assembly out of the saw.

Insert the new brush holder assembly into the saw.

Use the Phillips head screwdriver to secure the brush holder assembly to the saw.

Replace the gear cover assembly and secure it with the screws that you removed in step 2.

Plug the reciprocating saw back into the power source.

Additional tips:

Be careful not to damage the brushes or the armature when replacing the brush holder assembly.

If the brushes are worn, you should replace them at the same time as the brush holder assembly.

Make sure to tighten all of the screws securely before using the reciprocating saw.

If you are not comfortable replacing the brush holder assembly yourself, you can take the reciprocating saw to a qualified repair technician.
