Stingray230SX

you mean the JEPSON brand?. This tool is older and it is identical to the Black&Decker 2214-09 except the 6204 has machine screws holding the nose on versus the sheet metal style screws on the 2214-09. and of course where it seems to have had a roller bearing where the 2214-09 has that sleeve bearing. But I cannot find many references to it on the web. unfortunately even the 2214-09 is so old many parts are unavailable, including the brush holder assemblies my buddies really needed at least one of.

thanks, it is still greased but after multiple time handling the parts i feel i need to add some. All i have in the garage at the moment is a high temp grease used in the door mechanisms of steam autoclaves, known as Neptune N7. I will drop by the local autoparts store and grab some wheel bearing grease next time Im off my hill see the 11th grease down:https://orelube.com/orelube-products/orelube-industrial-greases/ It's description sounds like it might work

i see a parts diagram for a 2214 TYPE 100, then it skips to model 2225 here is the diagram for the 2214 TYPE 100: https://www.ereplacementparts.com/black-and-decker-2214-type-100-impact-wrench-parts-c-4167_11475_11477.html you might check it for simularities

So, my brother loaned me an old JEPSON 6204 1/2"electric impact. using it with a spring compressor to change the struts/springs on my VW GTI, almost finished and it kinda gave up with some grinding noises and i figured it was done. set it aside for a while in the bottom of the tool box. Was helping a friend in his garage and he had an old Black&Decker 2214-09 that needed a new cord. i said i had several cords i was going to put new ends on and i could use one to fix his impact. while i had it at my house replacing the power cord i noticed it was physically the same as my JEPSON. So i took it apart and looked at the insides, then found a exploded drawing of the 2214-09 online. I then took the JEPSON apart and found it identical inside, and missing the sleeve bearing in the end of the cam and gear assembly. Everything else seemed fine. Now i did find a tiny roller bearing inside the cavity of the cam and gear where the sleeve bearing is in the 2214-09. However the 2214-09 has a standard looking sleeve bearing, not a roller bearing, and that is listed in an exploded diagram of the 2214-09 I searched but never found any drawings or parts lists for the 6204, but did find info stating it was an all ball bearing built impact. So I am thinking maybe the 6204 had a tiny roller bearing instead of a sleeve bearing, but i cant see why i can't use a bronze sleeve bearing to make it work again. I would have just ordered the sleeve bearing for the 2214-09 but it was shown on the exploded diagram but skipped in the parts list so NLA I also found a listing for a 2214 TYPE 100 but it is a slightly different setup at the back of that cam and gear assembly, and while the list that sleeve bearing as available at 6$ I tried to order it just to see if it was a match, but after placing the order and waiting I received an email stating it was NLA To that end i took measurements and have ordered a couple standard and metric ultra low friction bronze sleeve bearings from Mcmaster-Carr [two of each size] so if i need to do some slight work on them i have a spare to go to. still waiting on the metric High-Load Ultra-Low friction sleeve bearing to get here before i start the fitting process. my question at this time is when i get this sleeve bearing fitted i want to add a bit of grease back in the nose of the impact before buttoning it up and looking for a recommendation of what type of grease to use in this application as the online drawing do not list anything. Sorry for the long winded description, Thanks for reading Douglas

just a guy that likes tools and tries to fix what i can. current project is an older JEPSON 6204 electric half inch impact. I was using it with a spring compressor changing struts/springs on my GTI it kinda gave up on me with a grinding sound and i set it aside for a while. I will detail it in the power tool section as i need to ask a question. Douglas
