Try going to You Tube, the have a number of good videos on "How to Remove a Drill Chuck". Good luck, sometimes they can be very stubborn. John B.

Hi. I am not sure but the threads might be left handed so try turning the allen wrench in the opposite direction. You also might have to secure the chuck in a vise or have someone hold it with a large set of pliers while you loosen the allen bolt.

Hi Karen. Open the chuck and remove the screw in the center of the chuck and then put the allen into the chuck and tighten the chuck. You then lay the drill on a counter and then strike the allen wrench counter clockwise, the chuck and allen must turn counter clockwise at the same time. It might be tight so be persistant. You can do this. hoped this helped Bill.

Sandy: You have to remove the collet (the thing stuck in the tube on the dremel) when you take off the old threaded-on piece.Then the chuck should screw on the dremel tool itself (you still have to lock the tool shaft, either with a wrench or on the newer dremels with the lockout-lever above the switch).

You need to hold the end of the drill's head, set the drill mode for counter-clockwise rotation, and pull the trigger until the teeth inside the head open large enough for you to put the bit in. Put the bit in, reverse the rotation, and pull the trigger until it is tight. If you are unable to get the drill to move under your grip, increase the torque by turning the numbered dial to a higher setting and try again.

You must tighten the chuck with two hands instead of using one hand on the chuck and one on the trigger. Like how you would tighten it if you had a dead battery.

There's no chuck key. The previous answer is the proper way to change/ remove a bit from the drill chuck.

the chuck shaft is tapered; once it's put it, tap it lightly with a dead-blow mallet and it should be fine. I have had no trouble with it slipping.

As you face the hex-lock .. press the LOCK button to stop the arbor from rotating. "Tighten" the hex just a bit (CCW) then "Loosen" by turning CW as the arrows indicate. It should loosen up for you. I run into the same thing all the time after using the devise a LOT.

Use your key to tighten the chuck, then use a wood block and hammer to tap and lock it in. Be careful not to damage chuck.

Is it possible that the allen screw has been over tightened? That is the only thing I can think of that would result in your situation. If this is the case you can either try to use thread tape or a piece of string soaked in lock-tite to provide some "Traction" for the bolt threads. A slightly larger size bolt may also work in the already stripped threads. Good luck!

Good grief. That sucks. I suppose it depends on which bit broke. I assume it's the reverse thread end. Maybe it snapped deep enough that another try will grip enough to pull the whole thing out. Most auto part stores will loan them. If not I'm afraid it's a head pull.

I had the same problem, my spindle with a morse taper was fine but my chuck was siezed The new chuck fit great with one tap of the rubber mallot, and works great and has not come loose. I hope this helps.

Brute force. Rotate the clips up with two hands. Try wedging a dime in the bottom of the clip as a lever. It gets easier

The Chuck is mounted on a taper. You need to break the taper using something like a ball joint fork. Not many people would have one of these, so opposing wooden wedges would do the trick. Just remember when the taper lets go, you should have a small bucket to catch the chuck, or it could be damaged in the ensuing flight. Clean both the drive taper, and chuck, dirt and rust are your enemy. Apply light coat of oil, replace chuck on shaft, and tap upward using a wood block between chuck and hammer so as not to damage chuck. Check for run out using a piece of round stock in chuck, and you should be done. The Chuck is mounted on a taper. You need to break the taper using something like a ball joint fork.

Take the loose nut all the way off. Then try. I believe it has backwards threads.

I never tried to do that, but a standard drill chuck should be able to get a good "grip" on it since the end is flat on one side.

The only thing I can tell you is : hold the chuck and reverse the drill,on high speed or high torgue. Good luck ps maybe wear gloves, rubber

im not sure Neil, I didn't have this issue, did you strip the bolt that the nut attaches to? you may just have to slowly stop turning the nut when you feel the tension. I apologize for not a better answer.
