0:25 "a wee hex". On the chuck I ground off, I discovered that that wee hex is in fact a LH securing bolt for the chuck. I know you grind through the thing and if the chuck is rusty it'll be a hell of a job trying to unscrew it given the tiny hex socket on the end but it still maybe worth a try before you pick up your metal cutting disc.
I know if I tried that - I would have no threads left, and about a 1/16th" left of the spindle. 🤣 You can tell he's done this many times to get this good at it.
So for all drills that don't have a screw to hold the chuck you need loctite or did you just need it because you cut of the screw head. If you have time, could you please explain that?
He used blue loctite, that stuff isnt permament, a bit of heat to the chuck from a gas torch would loosen it.. its the red stuff thats pretty much permanent.. @@AutodidactEngineer
Dewalt doesn't have a screw. It has a screw head on the drills spindle. That doesn't undo, like a screw would on a normal drill. It's used just to hold the spindle to stop it turning, so you can unwind the chuck. If you can't get the chuck off that way, you have to grind it.
I got a question, I got this old cord Craftsman drill just a plain drill and the check head is stuck but it got the screw inside but I can't get out, so my question is.... can you do a exact same thing when you trying to cut the head or not?🤷
I found an easier way to remove chuck: I put a vicegrip on bottom of chuck and hitted down with a hammer a few times and came off within a couple minutes. Descubri una forma mucho mas facil y rapida de quitar el broquero: puse unas pinzas vicegrip en la parte de abajo del broquero y le pegue varias veces con un martillo hacia abajo y salio en menos de 2 minutos.
Here's a small tip for free to get that chuck off in 30 seconds. Get a 10 mil Hex Key and put the long side in the chuck and tighten it as far as you can, tap down on the short end rotating it after every tap and the whole shaft and Chuck will come out of the drill with no damage to the drill or chuck. It's started driving me mad watching these videos.

The screw in sude ar the back of the chuck is a torques head reverse thread take it out. Then wirh at least a 1/4 hex allen key chuck it in and with a hammer pop it clockwise the chuck will screw off
That's not accurate advice for these drills Jerome. They *don't* have a reverse-threaded centre bolt in the spindle, the chuck is simply screwed on to a very high torque value. The dealer-recommended way to get the chuck off these without grinding is to remove the gearbox from the front of the drill body, take out the geartrain to get access to the back of the spindle, and either use the proper DeWalt removal jig (which costs more than a new drill) or simply an adjustable spanner or wrench in a vice to clamp the backside of the spindle while unscrewing the chuck with a breaker bar.

The new dewalt dcd1007 finally has the screw at the bottom, so now you can easily change the chuck. Thank you, dewalt for this long awaited change
Thank you!!! I've been wrestling with this bastard for hours.

You know it's safety first when the battery comes off last lol
Jesus that was close to the threads

Yeah pretty much though I'd probably just put some anti-seize to stop it from welding to itself, ya never know when you have to take it apart again 😂😂

@Doherty what App do you use to edit your videos
Amazing… the knowledge and ability you have with these machines is truly amazing.
Brilliant shortcut

The screw may be a left hand thread.
Yes, Cameron is correct; in all probability it's a left-hand thread.

I stripped my knuckle trying to unscrew the darn thing...turns out it's a left hand thread 🤧

@@adriaandoelman2577 here's a tip for free, Allen key, hex key is the same thing.
@@adriaandoelman2577 there's an old saying, you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink.
How about if teeth are frozen on the open position? What to secure the allen?
@@joaquinsuarez6090 if you have a welder just weld a rod to it or use a Dina Bolt if you want to save the chuck.
