Paso 1 Disassembling Ridgid R86034 Housing

Use the flat side of a metal spudger to peel the black rubber cover off of the casing.

Use the flat side of a metal spudger to peel the black rubber cover off of the casing.
The rubber cover is securely attached to the housing so some force is necessary.
When putting the rubber cover back, remember that its orientation is important. Rotate the casing until it fits onto the housing with no gaps between it and the clear cover.

Unscrew the eight 15 mm T10 Torx screws from the housing

The screw hole located nearest the battery port is deep and small. Most screwdrivers with replaceable bits will not fit into the hole. Instead use a conventional screwdriver that fits.

Pull out all electrical components from housing by hand. First, lift out the motor. Next, follow the wires, lifting out components until all components are outside of the housing.
With two exceptions all of the components should come out of their respective slots with ease and require little force to lift out. The circuit board located nearest the battery pack and the LED light will be hard to pull out.
When reassembling remember to precisely place all components in their correct slots with their correct orientations.
