    Update (09/13/24)

    I have removed the blade and its bolt. The shield has jumped off the hook of the spring. One end of the coil spring remains in its hole. The hooked end lies disconnected from the shield which also is loose (unsnapped) from the center washer. How do I get the spring coiled hooked in the shield and all attached, at this point?

    I took the saw apart and found a number of broken teeth on the spindle gear. The gear at the end of the armature shaft is in good condition.
    The Milwaukee parts diagram shows that the gear and spindle shaft are separate parts.
    There is no circlip holding the gear on to the spindle shaft or woodruff key keying the gear to the shaft.
    Is the old gear just pressed off of the spindle shaft and the new gear pressed on?
