ken before you do anything look inside the chuck and remove the screw that is more than likely inside. Then tighten the jaws onto a 1/4 " allen wrench and rap the allen wrench Sharply the correct direction and remove
hope this helps Joe
*jogro2Thanks for the info but the problem is I cant get the chuck to close so there goes the allen wrench deal.Suggestions?
*Ken...GO to Dewalt repair shop...They are all across the country....If you buy the new chuck there, they would help you I would think...They may even do more.near the stream,ajThe chuck is thread on with regular right hand threads...the inside chuck fastener is reverse threaded like a propane tank connection. Take out inside fastener, then put monkey wrench on bad chuck or vise grips, and whack the handle with a hammer to impact shock break it loose to turn.
*Thanks guys!Just trying to save a 80 mile round trip, then another to pick it up. Nothing is close here in the mts. of WV.
