For drill chuck removal try this. Chuck up the largest allen wrench you can with the long side sticking up from the
chuck. Give it a sharp rap with a hammer counter clockwise to loosen the screw. Remove the allen wrench and chuck
screw (left hand thread). Re-chuck the allen wrench and give it a sharp rap clockwise and the chuck should come loose.

I have a small corded Skill drill with a keyless chuck. One of the jaws
doesn't travel with the other two. I decided to replace the chuck. I
went out and bought one and when I got home I found I couldn't remove the
old one. I can't see down there very well so I don't know what kind of
tool to use in the set screw.

For reasons that would bore everyone here, replacing the drill is the last
option.

If anybody has the manual could you please tell me how to remove the


chuck.
