DeWalt corder drill chuck replacement

[speedy1662]

-------------------------------------

I have read over all the many posts that are already here about replacing the chuck and I still have a question. I have the middle bolt undone and am trying to get the chuck off, however the chuck is stuck in complete open position. As a result, I can't do the neat little trick of placing an allen wrench in there and whacking away with a hammer. Any ideas?

Pipe wrench on the outside fixed portion and a bigger hammer to "break" it

I second Brian's idea, or possibly a vise-grip pliers, but don't hesitate to really whack it hard. Mine took a dozen full swings

And remember that many are attached with a reverse thread so you may have to BANG it "the other way"

if it's actually *stuck* open (and presumably the reason you're replacing it) why not put the chuck key in and beat on that?
