Bosch problem found

I couldnt stop before bed: removing one of the main shafts from the transmision; it was quickly apparent as you can see in the photos that one of the main "power gears" is missing about 5-6 teeth in one spot and another 1/2 broken off on the other side. Yikes...

Bosch teardown

Going to call it quits for the evening... Grandfather, get back to me on your thoughts on that white oak piece, I know its been stained darker but we can remove that, do you think with all those curves and small corners one would drive them selves crazy trying to get everything down to bare virgin wood or whats your take? Thanks for the help as always...

Bosch chuck removal

Grandpa, after discussing removal of the chuck mechanism with you, I tried and tried, went through my entire collection of stars and squares looking for the right combo to "remove" the inside screw and the rest would follow. After looking it over and almost 86ing it, i noticed a small hole at the base(behind the chuck that ran entirely through the body, the shaft and outside the other direction. Putting a small bar through the hole and then turning the chuck manually, off came thr chuck in a matter of seconds. So, it must depend on the model number you have wether or not you need to remove an inside hex/or lock the shaft in place and unscrew manually. Point being, thanks for the advice. You got me started on the right path. Heres a few photos to give you an idea...

The placement was just to tight, it was inevitabley going to happen. To bad because we are OUT of spaces currently.
