does anyone on here know how to change the chuck on a dewalt drill? I have one that needs a new chuck and have the chuck so i was just wondering if anyone has done it

 

From all the drills I have seen over the years, it is either pressed in or you have to open the jaws all the way and go down through the center with an allen wrench. Hope this helps.

 

some will screw on, if it has a key open it all the way and leave the key in and give it a smack with something to break it loose, it should be righthanded.

 

I always chuck up a large allen wrench and smack the allen wrench with a hammer. It'll come loose.

 

Most of the drills I've used have a screw inside the chuck. Never had to replace the chuck on any DeWalts.

 

Here is what I do......

Just went and looked at the Dewalt I use here at work... It's a 2-year-old keyless chuck. Open the jaws up all the way and look down inside. There's a TORX screw in the center, mine's a T-20 head with a LEFT hand thread. Then, down inside there, there's another torx head cast into the chuck, that looks like you'll need to drop a torx key down there and unscrew it from the shaft, but I didn't have one that large to try it with. It looked to be about a T-35 or T-40.

If all else fails, call the slocal service center listed on their web site, and I'm sure they can talk you through it.

Good luck!
