I have a Milwaukee, cordless screwdriver, model #6546-1. It's a two speed
screwdriver. You can see similar ones listed here:
http://www.milwaukeeconnect.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product2_27_40027_-1_281130_189329_362

I had a small bit stuck in it and in trying to remove the bit, I partially
disassembled the transmission thinking I could push it out from the other
end. That was of no help at all. Eventually, I was able to dislodge the bit
and reassemble it. But then the bit would not turn even though the motor
would turn. To make a long story short, I then completely disassembled the
transmission again and after many hours of figuring how to put all the gears
back in, I got it to work. However with all the handling of the gears, much
of the lubricant came off and the gears now whine when it's in use. What
kind of lubricant should be used on these gears?

Thanks for your reply.

I called their support number and was given a Milwaukee part number,
49080800. It is a one pound jar of grease that costs $10.25. I don't think I
really need that much grease for this one job. The support representative
was kind enough to read the label on the grease and it said, "Grease type A,
consistency rating 2, soft semi-fluid." I'll see if I can find a local place
that stocks this in smaller quantities.

Thanks for your reply.

It looks like lithium grease. At a guess, you might be able to buy some
at the local auto place.

Also, they *must* provide an MSDS sheet on demand that will tell you
what is in the stuff.
