How to remove bit retainer or chuck from drill

To remove the spindle on a Milwaukee Hole Hawg 1675-1 drill, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Disconnect the drill from the power source and remove the chuck key.
2. Turn the drill over so that the chuck is facing upwards.
3. Locate the spindle lock button on the side of the chuck.
4. Press the spindle lock button and hold it down while rotating the chuck counterclockwise to loosen it.
5. Once the chuck is loosened, you can remove it from the spindle by pulling it off.
6. To remove the spindle from the drill, you will need to loosen and remove the retaining bolt that holds it in place. The retaining bolt is typically located on the bottom of the drill, near the front of the spindle.
7. Once the retaining bolt is removed, you should be able to lift the spindle out of the drill.

It is important to follow these steps carefully to avoid damaging the spindle or the drill. If you are having difficulty removing the spindle, you may need to consult the owner's manual or a certified mechanic for assistance. They will have the necessary tools and expertise to help you remove the spindle safely.

Usually drill motors have a reverse (left) thread retaining screw located in the center of the chuck. The chuck however is typically threaded in the normal right hand configuration. Once the retaining screw is removed place a 1/4" allen wrench short end into the chuck and tighten, next strike the allen wrench with a soft tip mallot (counter clockwise while holding on to the drill motor firmly. This should loosen the chuck, then simply unscrew the chuck by hand. Good Luck!

To remove the chuck, unscrew the 4 screws that hold the chuck housing to the body of the drill. Put the chuck housing in a vise & remove the bearing retainer... it has a left hand thread, so righty loosey. Once the bearing retainer is out, the chuck slides out of the housing. Don't waste time looking for a screw because there isn't one.

dont know the exact model you have but if there is a retaining ring on the spindle I would remove it and the corresponding parts and then you can put a small screwdriver in the slot on the side to start moving the bit. If you need more help give me the model number and I will see what I can do

The retaining screw at the bottom of the chuck ( down inside where you put the drill bit) is reverse thread. the chuck itself is regular thread. Take out the retaining screw, chuck a 3/8 inch allen wrench ( short side) into the chuck just like a drill bit. Lay the drill down on a work bench with the chuck pointing towards you and the allen wrench clear of the table. Hit the allen wrench with a hammer, ( may take a few tries) in a counter clockwise direction. the chuck should unscrew.

open the jaws of the chuck up all the way. There is a retaining screw at the bottom ( under where the drill bit would go). this screw is reverse thread. once the screw is out, get a 3/8 inch allen wrench. chuck the short end into the drill chuck. set the drill on a workbench with the chuck hanging off the edge a bit. Hit down on the allen wrench with a hammer ( counter clockwise) and the chuck will unscrew normal thread.

go to Makitatools.com and type in your model number for a breakdown. What I would do is first remove the dust shield and under that you will find a retaining ring, remove it without spreading it too much, then remove the collar and under that you will find a washer and another retaining washer, push down and remove the steel ball. clean the area, it could be full of dirt and not locking properly. Let me know if you need more assistance

Keyless chucks normally have a knurled ring at the base of the chuck that you hold in one hand while turning the large knurled taper with the other. If the chuck has been overtightened, and you cant open like this, try using two stilson wrenches (Pipe wrenches) one on each of these parts. Use a soft cloth in the jaws to avoid damaging the knurling. You can also try some Q20 or similar into the chuck to help lubricate it.

home depot replacement chuck i beleive you can also us a keyless chuck. they usually come with instructions. most have a screw at the inside of drill chuck.

I simply placed the chuck into a large vise and turned the drill counter clockwise and the chuck spun right off no problem without damaging anything!! It does have some thread lock on the chuck but just use your man strength and its as simple as turning the lid off the pickle jar! Do not waste your time or money with the removal tool...YOU DONT NEED IT!
