I have a cheap, Walmart type hammer drill that has a keyless chuck, but
I need to have a keyed chuck for a certain application. Is it possible
to replace the keyless chuck with keyed? Thank you.

You should be able to unscrew the chuck using some water pump pliers (Channellock pliers). I've had to stick a nail into the fan blades to keep the motor from turning. Good luck. ^_^

Is that the chuck or the lock screw inside ? Hint : lock an allen wrench
in the chuck (after removing the lock screw inside) and whack it with a
mallet to break it loose . If the screw is LHT , the chuck will be RHT ,
and vice versa .

yep - you're right - small screw is LHT -
actual chuck screw is RHT - thanks.
I just re-read the manual for my brand new $ 50.
hammer drill 1/2 " 6 amp corded
50 piece accessory kit included ; 3 year warranty ;
Canadian dollars even ..
.... I know I know but I'll probably use it about
once per year or so ...

Yes. The question you should be asking is if you can buy a keyed chuck
cheaper than another cheap Walmart drill that already has one.
