How to repair and service a Hitachi Hikoki NT65GB gas gun with a broken nail feed.

This is the older model Hitachi NR65GB, a second fix Hitachi gas gun. Works the same way as a paslode gun, only not as well.
Always found this, and the first fix gas guns were very temperamental.
Some work fine, others are simply riddled with problems and simply don't work consistently.

Lucky the new Hikoki nail guns have upped their game.

For repair and service of these guns, they are a little more difficult than the paslode, but still achievable for anyone at home.
One of the biggest problems I find is the motor fan. On both the first and second fix guns.
The motor and fan are linked with a brass spindle insert. This brass part cam shear or if over tightened. Which is only available with the motor unit.
If the motor fails on its own, you can replace the dc motor without buying the whole unit from Hitachi.
