How do you take a Chuck off a Craftsman 3/8th drill?
Answers:
As mentioned earlier.... open up the chuck and remove small retaining screw..... usually a phillips head....BUT>>> most chucks .....screw off..... and most are left handed threads!
Not a real easy job.... they are usually pretty tight....
I have found that by using a pair of vice grips... to clamp the chuck.... then use a rubber mallet.. and hit the vice grips, in the PROPER direction to unscrew the chuck...remember almost always >> LEFT hand threads!
