Porter-Cable PCE211 Gearcase Replacement

You will need to remove the gearcase or head of the impact wrench to complete many other repairs on your Porter Cable PCE211 drill.

Before using this guide, make sure you do not have the impact wrench plugged in because if the function buttons are pushed, it could damage the tool or yourself.

This guide requires a bit of strength and time because the screws are difficult to release.
