How do you remove the chuck from a drill

f140

have a Makita drill and bought a new chuck for it online. Both chucks are with a key. All youtube videos show how to do this with keyless chucks.


It seems like you need a ver thin spanner to catch the inside which I don't have. As in about a 1/4 thickness of a normal spanner?


Has anyone advice?

For most drills, you insert the key in the chuck and tap with a hammer anti-clockwise. Should loosen chuck.

Put the key in it and give it a belt of a hammer in the anticlockwise direction

Or get the biggest allen key that will fit into the chuck, tighten the shorf end of the Allen key into the chuck, and belt it anti clockwise with a lump hammer.

Or you could just get a bit of 3 or 4mm steel and cut your own notch out of it to create your own spanner. It doesn't need to be pretty just practical. You'd have it made by the time it takes to read these posts.

Make sure to get the screw out of bottom of it first. Usually Philips and left hand thread. Then put drill in the vise. Put a big Allen key a tight as you can get it in the chuck a mf smck it with a hammer. Anti clockwise.
