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.

You'll need to get a flashlight or somehow determine what kind of tool
to use to remove the retaining screw. Plain slotted screws were pretty
common on older keyed chucks, but who knows what is used today? Do you
still have instructions for your drill? Remember, the retaining screw
has a left hand thread, turn clockwise to remove, the chuck has a
normal right hand thread, turn counterclockwise to remove.
