Subject: Can I get some help with my Makita drill

Can some one please help me.  I have a Makita 9.6v rechargable 3/8 drill.
I have had this drill for some time.  I bought it before keyless chucks
became
popular.  I have worn out the chuck and you like to replace it with a
keyless
chuck.  I ordered one from a discount mail order company and found out that
it came without instruction on how to remove the old chuck.  Can you please
me with information on how to remove the old chuck and install the new one.

Thanks in advance.

Chuck removal can vary from unit to unit, however all I've seen go like
this:

1).	There is a set screw deep within the jaws of the original chuck, you
may
	need a torx driver to remove it. It has reverse threads so you'll need to
	turn it clockwise to remove it.

2).	Fasten a very large allen wrench (or similar) into the jaws of the old
	chuck, place it on a bench and whack the chuck loose using the
	wrench as the "target". This is done "normally", counter-clockwise.

3).	Once loose, remove and install new chuck. I don't know how to torque
	it on as the factory does, I just get it as tight as the motor gears will
	allow and re-fasten the set screw.

If it is the model as mine - 6012HD.  I replaced the old chuck just to get
away from the need for the key.  The screw holding the chuck in place was
just a slot, though that may not be standard on all.  Just back off the
screw, reverse thread and remove the old chuck.  The keyless is sure nice.
