Dewalt DW938 shaft replacement

[molson7376]

My buddy dropped off his dw938 type 2 reciprocating saw because the quick release had fallen off and he lost the pieces. I ordered the pieces from you but I couldn't figure out how they went together (not having seen it together) until I noticed that he had broken off one of the arms on the shaft. I took the transmission off but can't figure out how to get the shaft off of the reciprocator.... do you have to take off the nut on the drive shaft to get the motor end out???? How do you hold it without breaking something? And lastly do you have a picture of the blade holding assembly together? I might be able to figure it out once I get the shaft. Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes, you have to take the nut off the shaft that sits under the black cup in the front. I think it comes off clockwise. I use an impact driver to brake it loose. As for the blade clamp I'll see if I can post a pick.

Thanks for the help, Dale. The nut does come off clockwise and the impact wrench was a good tip, taking care not to over do it. After getting the new shaft I was able to figure out all the places for the parts and it's as good as new. Thanks again and Have a Great Day!
