How do you remove a drill chuck from a drill?

Answer 1

Use a pair of Vise-Grip pliers on the key-less chuck and Channel-lock pliers on the stuck bit. Holding the drill with the drill facing away from you (as in use), turn the chuck clockwise and the bit counterclockwise.

Answer 2

A Phillips screwdriver, or a nail can be inserted into one of the holes for the chuck key, and then use a "pipe" wrench on the collar to break it loose. Once loose, you can then turn it enough to release the drill bit.

Answer 3

I once saw instructions on a package of a new chuck. Lock the drill in a vice, open the chuck. It should have an Allen screw inside, behind the teeth of the chuck. Find the right wrench and tap with a hammer. I can't remember which way to tap. Some items like that have reverse thread. If you have t handle allens, it will probably be easier, may be able to do it by hand. I haven't tried it, don't know how easy it is. Good luck.

Answer 4

Use a key chuck. If the drill is chuckless, then just use your hands.

Answer 5

If the drill is not "chuckless" you will have to find a chuck key that will fit your brand of drill, insert and turn counterclockwise to release the bit.

Answer 6

Some are screwed on with reverse thread and some are a 'Morse taper' fit. You have to determine which. The 'Morse taper' fit is knocked off with a sharp blow from a 'dead blow' hammer.

Answer 7

You turn the outer ring clockwise while holding the inner ring.
