Keyless chuck removal
I bought the Grizzly 18v 1/2" drill, G8597. Problem is the chuck loosens
when backing out screws in reverse and drops the bit. Griz Tech sent me a new one within 2 days, great services. Now having a problem getting the old one off. Took the screw out in the chuck but for the life of me I can't break the threads loose to get it off. Keyed chucks are easily removed by tapping the key, done it many times. How the heck do I get the keyless off? Tried everything I can think of so the solution must be too simple for my old mind..?? Help, Guys. Al in WA |

Help, Guys. Al in WA I don't have an answer for you, but I'll be watching for any you may get here. You see I have the very same drill. However, I don't have that problem...yet...knock wood. Good luck. Joe |

If you need some leverage, chuck up an Allen wrench in the chuck. Gives you
something to whack. "Al" wrote in message ... I bought the Grizzly 18v 1/2" drill, G8597. Problem is the chuck loosens when backing out screws in reverse and drops the bit.

Chuck up your largest Allen wrench. If 1 or 2 swats doesn't get
it, carefully position the Allen wrench between the open jaws of a metal working vise. Let the Allen "handle" smack into the jaw of the vise with drill in reverse. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Keep the whole world singing . . . . DanG (remove the sevens) "Al" wrote in message ...
