Let's say you're replacing the chuck because it's BROKEN, and WILL NOT "chuck up" that large allen key. Now what?? (Yes, I've watched every video I can find -- they all say "chuck up the allen key...") Help!

That screw is super tight. I ended up stripping the head. What do I do now?

How hard do you guys hit the hammer? Mind refuses to come off after repeated hit..

[eReplacementParts]

@29grampian A firm swing with good follow-through should do it in most cases. Beyond that, we recommend checking out another one of our videos, "How to Remove a Stuck Drill Chuck." Take a look and let us know if that helps. Depending on your results, we may have a suggestion or two from there. Thanks for watching!

On a front of the chuck you should have a silver colour nut - this is no 16mm. Use a spanner no 16mm (metric one) to unscrew the chuck without the hummer.

I have an 18 Volt XRP 1/2" Dewalt DCD970, there is no screw inside, same with the companion impact driver DC827. Both wobble the bits, any idea what to do?

[Revit7]

What do you do if your drill does not spin straight? I have a fairly new Dewalt impact screw driver that has the high speed wobbles, I don't recall ever dropping it.

Thanks for the reminder that the screw was left-handed. Once I had that sorted out everything went very smoothly.

By the way, I was shocked by that flagrant hammer abuse at 1:29 - hitting with the eye of the hammer indeed! SHOCKED I tell you! :-)

@jbdzyne - if it's not a plastic-cased chuck, you can always weld a bar to it...

Looked it up and Bingo, how to remove a chuck. I was going to charge up my old drill but the battery is dead, is it worth while stripping it for its keyless chuck and motor etc. Regards Vin

Great tip.... thanks for that!......

Am Doing a Motor Change on a Makita M602D (18V) Weekender.... just dies out of the blue (and out of warrenty by 2 weeks :(

I think if the chuck is broken so you can't use an allen key, you might try a pipe wrench. I haven't needed to do this, but it seems like it could work. Good luck!
