Forgot how to remove drill chuck?
Question:I have a 9.6 volt dewalt drill and I want to do some maint on it but it has been so long since I have removed the chuck what do I do after I remove the screw?
Answers:
Start by opening the chuch up to its largest opening. Look inside for the srew that holds the chuck in place. Is it a flat blade screw or an allenhead? Find an appropriate tool to engage the screw. Then remove the center screw keeping in mind it is a left hand thread. If the chuck seems a bit stubburn in coming off, try tightening the short end of a 3/8 allen wrench into the jaws of the chuck and giving the long end a not so gentle tap with a hammer while FIRMLY holding the drill with the other hand.
put the drill in reverse while holding the chuck. it should screw off.
Its built to be hard to work on, but what I think you want to do is get into the chuck itself, to check out the splines.
OK remove the screw under front housing then you have to gently pry the Chuck housing off, forward on the drill. at the rear of the moder you will see clips that wrap around the motor housing, they are long and don't look like clips. Pop em off with a flat head snd you have an independent chuck
Put the short end of the largest Allen wrench you own in the chuck and tap with hammer.
