Anyone know how to remove the chuck on a Milwaukee 0375-1 Angle Drill. Looking into the chuck, I don't see a screw head or allen socket.

With out a screw of some type in the bottom of the chuck indicates a single direction drill. Spin the chuck in the direction that the drill turns. If this is a key type chuck, insert the key in one of the holes and smack the key with a mallet, again in the same direction that the chuck turns when the drill is on.

The removal advice below may be incorrect. Many Milwaukee drills use taper mounted chucks. Read the specs that are stamped on the chuck. A threaded mount will be marked: THD 1/2-20, or 1/2-20 (or something similar). If you have a threaded mount, use the removal method that Leon posted. A Jacobs taper mount will be marked: 2 Taper, or 2JT (or something similar). If you have a Jacobs taper mount, the chuck will have to be removed with a special tool. Jacobs sells Drill Chuck Removal Wedges. These wedges are inexpensive (5 or 10 dollars), but may be hard to get locally. They can be purchased from MSC

. Don't cheat; use the proper tool. Other methods of removal are likely to damage the chuck or the shaft. Another option for removal is to visit your local tool repair shop. They should have the correct tool and can easily remove the chuck for you.
