   Old way to remove was to lock a long allen wrench in the chuck and SMACK it with a hammer... Some have had better luck putting a hex rod or similar in the chuck and using an impact gun with a socket to "unscrew" the chuck..

	normal operation is CLOCKWISE which you would want to tighten the chuck... So "NORMALLY" they are right hand thread... Lefty Loosy.... "NORMALLY" one that is reversible will have the internal screw... but not necessairly.

	Hey Lou and Steve,,,I took and cleaned the hole down the cchuck and I did not see anything that might be the head of a bolt,,,I used a mirror with the sun behind me and can clearly see the flat end of what appears to be the end of the shaft and one or two threads,,,,I put some rust penetrant down the hole and it cleaned up pretty good,,but no bolt head,,,?? IF there is no bolt,,which way would the threads be? It doesn't make sense as it IS a reversable drill and would almost have to have that bolt to "LOCK" the chuck onto the shaft,,,,but there ain't one,,,,,

	yep... if you look on You Tube, you will see that most of the drills have a #12 or 1/4 inch LEFT HAND thread bolt at the bottom of the chuck.. You need a hex or torx to get the screw out... Then the chuck "normally" is a right hand thread....Normally lock a BIG allen wrench in the chuck and SMACK it with a hammer to knock it loose.... Problem is you have to know the BRAND and MODEL to get everything right.

	Joe, you may find that there is a fastener down the center of the shaft. I had one I struggled with but eventually discovered the bolt, it's head severely battered from years of use that it was hard to recognize
	I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27

	The Handy Man that is doing the tile project in my house has burnt up two drills mixing the tile mix and I let him use my Milwaukee battery powered drill but ain't wantin him to burn it up too,,,,!!!! The first one to go is a Hyper Tough 5 amp 3/8" Electric Drill that needs brushes, SN is AQooo17G,,,of coarse it is made in china. Anyone got a source for getting a set of brushes?? It IS a really well made drill and just needs new brusshes. The other drill is a Big Craftsman 1/2" but cannot read the rest of the tag, It has a big "D" shaped handle at the rear of the drill. It also needs brushes too. The biggest issue on the big one is the bearing at the chuck area has some play but I cannot figure how to remove the chucck to get to that bearing,,,and I think it musst be threaded onto the shaft that the main input gear is . My question here is,,,is the chuck screwed onto shaft right handed or left handed,,,don't want to mess up the gear,,,,, Thanks for any help,,,,!!
