How to Remove Drill Chuck

Fare Well

There is supposed to be a Phillips head LH thread screw in the chuck. I have seen the screw head worn down so you can no longer get a screwdriver to work.
We usually cut the chuck off with a metal chop saw just at the screw - thread what remains of the chuck off, which usually leaves 1/4" of the screw sticking out of the spindle - remove with vise grips.
Its not an easy prospect when that happens.

Make sure it is in low gear on drill mode. try with just a bar in the socket and hit the end to shock it. This is sometimes better than a constant force.

It is left hand thread and yes sometimes you have to use a little force to loosen it. I don't know if you will be able to reinstall the jaw from the chuck, I havea detailed instructions on chuck removal in my tip section.

This guide should assist you in the removal. It is a very standardized system so you should have no issue. http://www.ereplacementparts.com/article/890/How_to_Remove_a_Drill_Chuck.html

Use of both is the same:
- loosen "chuck" (part where bit is installed).
- insert bit (hand tighen chuck so that bit is secured)
- tighten chuck securely with chuck tool, or by holding rotating chuck with hand and pulling trigger (GENTLY or you will shave off skin!)
- put drill in forward or reverse mode and pull trigger to inser or remove screw / drill hole.

ensure that battery is charged on cordless drilll.
squeeze connectors to remove and place in charger when battery is too low to operate drill.

there is a flat head screw in the center of the keyless drill chuck counter clocwise to remove.

Hi there, the chuck will screw onto the spindle of the drill but there is also a screw to undo. Open the chuch out fully then look down the centre of the chuck and you will find a philips head. The thread on the screw is opposite to the normail way so instead of undoing to the left, undo to the right.there should be threadlock on the screw so may be abit tough for the first turn. Once removed a strong pair of grips and a good tug should then remove the old chuck, some are more orqard than others to remove so just keep trying.

The screw you are trying to remove is left hand thread. You must turn is clockwise to remove it.
Hope this helps

You must remove the inner chuck retaining bolt first, it is a torx screw and is left hand thread. once you have this screw out, get yourself a 1/2" allen key (the L kind). Chuck the short end in the chuck to grip it, use a mallet to hit on the long end (this will unthread the chuck). The spindle thread is regular Right hand thread. It may take a few good hits to knock it loose but it will come off.
