I have a DeWalt 3/8 drill, model DW 100 I think. I bought a Jacobs keyless chuck to 
replace the keyed one it came with. There is no set screw inside the old chuck to remove 
it. Has anyone changed chucks on this drill before? Help!!!!! If anybody can be of help 
, email me some instruction. Thaks a million....Kevin Duff

I beleive drill chucks are pressed onto a tapered shank.  Look at the
chuck you purchased; is the hole tapered?  To remove the chuck, I think
you either need some sort of wedge(s)  made for this purpose, or a wheel
puller.

I recently put a keyless chuck on my DeWalt 3/8 in VSR, but didn't keep
the packaging.  However, what you do is put the key in the current chuck
and whack the whole thing in with a hammer to loosen the old chuck.  The
replacement chuck should have directions.  It was easy and my life is
better now.
