The wife's set of hedge trimmers have had the gears stripped through repeated jamming on branches which are too thick for the trimmer.

Bosch spares are usually fairly available... although getting all the
parts for some of the models can be more tricky.


Here's a pic.

What's the likelihood of a DIY repair?

The smaller helical thread is actually the output shaft of the motor
armature. Its a very common way to finish the shaft on the armature. If
you look at my recent replacement of the aramature on my Makita drill,
its a very similar design:

So you would need to replace the armature is its the shaft that is worn..


Bosch spares can be had he

Cheers - I'll have a go at disassembly first tonight, if that goes OK
then I'm happier that the replacement part will be available!

Unfortunately, the model we have is the AHS 63-16 for which the only
exploded parts diagram shows external parts
e.g. http://www.powertools-aftersalesserv...9tdVpaa083c0E9

Whereas for models such as the AHS 60-16 a fully exploded diagram lists
all of the parts
e.g. http://www.powertools-aftersalesserv...9tdVpaa083c0E9

Perhaps all implying "not user serviceable"

It is the main toothed disc which has been run flat, not the actuator.

At EURO 42 ex VAT, looking like £35 for the part even if it was available,
a replacement set of trimmers looks like better value unfortunately.

Thanks for all the help!
