Can you replace the chuck with a Key Chuck to make the drill?

Intstructions recommend 4amp/h or 5 battery

Same as Toyota Echo, but our passeger side (Canada) has the power steering hoses in the way of the back bolt of the sway bar horseshoe bracket. How do you sneak past those? I was thinking of a crows foot wrench if I cant get in there with a really small socket wrench. What a stupid design for a part that needs regular maintenance. If only there was an expanding rubber that could be sprayed into those gaps... Also thought about undoing the front bracket bolt, levering the sway bar to get the old bushing out, cutting the flange off of one side of the new bushing and sliding it in. A hose clamp around the sway bar would keep a smaller/modified bushingfrom backing out.

Have you had any problems with the RCD tripping when running the welder at higher setting? Its something i was told not to do for the welding curcuit, not to have a RCD on it. Maybe its fine unless the welder is bigger than a home welding set up. Im not sure.

Didn't work on mine so cut it off with a grinder😂

Have the great box in forward didn't work at all for me. Put it in reverse, came right out.

my chuck won't open at all

Haven't been able to free the chuck despite drilling the head off the screw. You know I wonder about the economics of repairing these drills when a) you get fairly long warranties and replacements of you have to pay are so cheap. My advice to beginners is to buy a bigger hammer drill than you think you need, use good quality bits with hard quad ends (although note that carbide can be too brittle perhaps), take your time to get the hole started and avoid drilling close to an edge that can blow out. Because it will and it will make the job a pain.

Thanks for the info. The only problem it doesn't describe much on KZbin is how to get a seized centre screw out (held with locktight) found a video that showed heating the chuck up. After the third attempt it worked for me, but Christ it was tight in. 😬

what a journey! satisfaction achieved :)

well i got the screw out! cant get the chuck off! and yes! i am going the right way!

I tried this solution and others on KZbin that use a hammer instead of their sense. My solution was to remove the left hand screw as shown, but know that this may take 2 people, one to press down on the screwdriver and the other to turn it clockwise to loosen. Next, instead of hammering on an allen key, use a hammer drill. I tried the beat on it method for 2 days and got nowhere and was making a mess of my drill body. I realized that the solution was torque and what better than a hammer drill to provide that. I cut off the L end of the allen key and inserted it in both chucks. Se the hammer drill to run in reverse and gave it a couple of shots on the trigger and the Makita chuck spun right off. Moral, don't use a hammer, use your head. Thanks!

Great video bud,one question,where abouts did you place axle stands as doing the same job this weekend and want to know the spot you place axle stands.

Thanks a lot man this worked well for my 02’ Echo had to do some bushings and links and wanted to see someone else’s method before I tried. Earns a like from me 🍻

Thanks for this video. I have a Makita DHP451 with a worn-out chuck that I cannot remove. After watching this, it's going to the local agent. If they don't want to do it, I'll be in the market for a nut splitter!

Hi. Thanks for the video . Just unboxed mine , and although I have read the manual, watching your review and demonstration was a much easier way to familiarise myself with my new bit of kit. Well organised workshop btw !

Thank you!

701 like is me! Tee Hee!

Thanks mate! I was having the same problem getting the chuck off and almost every video I watched wasn't covering every base! Cheers again!

Grinding off old chuck way a head

@ShedTV What is the size of the nut splitter tool you used? Is it rusted screw threads and that's the reason for why the screw is completely stuck?

Great video, very clear explanation, but it didnt work for me 😭😭

Is there a guide rail for the Makita DSS611Z 18V LXT?

Thank you very much for your clear review. It made my choice easy to buy this Makita.

Hi. Firstly great video, hopefully this will help me with my Makita drill issue. A question, what size Allen key did you use? My side issue is the chuck has locked open and all the keys I have are the average size ones. Thanks in advance

Kiitos paljon hyvä video. 👍

Thanks for the help!

My chuck is not closing, so this video is of no Help

GOOD VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING THAT DOES IT HAVE TWIN LED LIGHTS ON WOULD YOU SAY ITS BETTER THAN THE MILWAUKEE

Nothing clever to say, just THANK YOU 1 MILLION PERCENT 🙏🙏😘 after watching 100+retarded twats, finally a genuine real helpful person .... Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼

Doesn't work for me. Putting the drill forward didnt lock it so it just spins.

just so everyone is clear the fun part only works AFTER you remove that left hand threaded screw...... otherwise you will beat the shit out of the gear box

Great video 😊 my chuck was jammed cloced with a broken drill bit inside. Got very creative with an angle grinder and a drill 👌

Is it not to many volts for it though

Pop a slightly pointed red hot rod down the chuck hole for ten seconds or so so you heat the left hand screw head as it's likely set in with a thermoplastic glue .

I changed both links today and the clicking sound over small bumps is still there... Can I change bar's bushings without touching links? (I spent far too much time today removing those old ones, it was a horror)

Greeting from Canada. I need to replace the sway bar bushings on my 2004 toyota echo. I just wonder if it is necessary to take out the sway bar link before removing the sway bar bushing. Also, can I just drive the car on a pair of ramps instead of jacking the car up? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Need this in my garage have a similar supply set up from the house (about 40 meters from garage) WON'T be doing this myself...electricity..?? Feckin' hate handing it.

My 7 year old has slackened on drilling just ordering thanls matey..

Thanks for this, I too watched a few videos and wasted a lot of time twatting an Allen key to no avail. Going to try this in a bit, just hope I haven't broken anything else from all the fruitless bashing

Brilliant this is what you tube is for 😊

Great video - the one on my Makita DHP484Z (just out of warranty hahaha) has shed a small spriing clip - if the chuck fails I now know how to replace it. Thank you.

Hello can I plug the following tig welder into a normal house hold socket. This one is from machimart at just under 100 pounds product is the CLARKE MMA/TIG120 120 AMP INVERTER MMA/TIG WELDER It comes with a 13 amp fitted plug so i understand from the specification details Thanks and let me know please

Any tips how to remove a stuck screw?

Beat the hell out of mine with a fracking big hammer no way it's coming off.

I've had good luck using an impact driver to break the chuck loose too.

Thanks Mate, great video. Just what I needed to fix my Makita.

Nice video thanks, still helping people years later. I had a lot of freestanding racking in my garage but it was taking up too much space and I wanted to use the garage as a workshop not just a storage area! I never considered this twin slot stuff before in the past (no idea why) but now that i've started using it it's so fast to install in a garage! I have a laser level on a tripod, I project a line onto the wall at the intended middle screw hole of the uprights and then marked at 60cm intervals. Drilled the holes and attached the uprights loosely with a single screw, then used a spirit level to make sure they were bolt upright, and then marked the additional screw holes with a tracer deep hole marker as required. That's the fastest approach i've found and my shelves are perfectly level. Excluding any jigsawing of the shelves around cable conduits etc it only took around 30 mins per 2m run of shelves.

I tried the hammer, i tried an impact. No dice? Whisky tango foxtrot?

I can never get the bloody bolt out to start with. Feel like these videos are all done on near new drills where parts haven't tightened or binded over the years
