I have a bosch electric jack hammer (brute) its not running. I took it apart and the wires that connect armature to the motor I think thats
what it called? is fried it has melted the connector to the brushes and the brushes are bad. can this wire be replaced? if it can how?
it seems like the wire is taped in is this tape with some type of glue?
can I buy this stuff? it doesnt seem hard but i have not done this before any help would be great thanks
my bosch jack hammer stopped. I am getting power to the switch, but I wonder if the switch is bad. I would like to check all and see what I need. Brushes, or switch?

DON'T BUY A BOUCH ELECTRIC JACKHAMMER.
The seals are designed to fail after 100 hours of use. Bosch rec emends to take the jackhammer to them after 100 hours of use so they could soak you for a huge repair bill. Bosch jackhammers don't have a window on them to tell you when to add lube so its easy to overlook low oil. Try your luck on the Internet and see if you could find out how much lube and what type to add. No one has an answer. The dealer has an answer. Take it to them.
Don't buy any electric jackhammer that doesn't have a way to check the lube level without disassembling the unit.
