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!

I had an old burnt out wee drill, after watching this video I thought I'd save the chuck off it for the craic, what a mission that was, the chuck has a shaft on it so I don't think it's worth keeping, they're cheap to buy anyway, but it was a bit of craic taking it apart to see how it works before I scrapped it. Love the video, I'm flatout watching them, great tv 👍

Thanks for your video, I had the exact same problem with my ryobi's chuck and had no choice but slicing it in 2 pieces. I damaged a little bit the screw but nothing too serious and managed to replace the drill!

This is a great video I would have never had the balls to try cutting off the chuck with a grinder if I didn't wash this video first but I did exactly what you did and it worked didn't come out as cleanly but it worked thank you

Only ever had one drill that the giant allen key and mallet worked, all the rest were grinder jobs!

So far I've never reached the point of having to cut one off. But I have replaced a few. You do make it look easy, but that takes a level of experience & confidence I don't have.

Any recommendations for a new chuck on a 481? ... used a lot for step cutting stainless, low speed high torque, makita ones last 5 mins! Thanks for the videos.

started dewalt, then got some milwaukee m12 tools. looking for one brand to settle on. Makita looks great too. As someone who repairs them, which brands would you recommend? Love the vids, started watching on instagram

did you not take the bearing off. was there a new bearing in the kit?

I tried the allen wrench, blow torch, impact driver, and then this, cutting off half the chuck. Now the drill just stopped working altogether before I was able to get the chuck off. I’ll buy another XPH12 or equivalent because I’ve been overall very happy with the makita cordless platform except for their chucks. May buy a Rohm chuck from the start this time.

I notice that the centre thread was damaged when the old chuck finally came off. Will this make the new chuck come loose or does the centre screw keep things tight?

@deandohertygreaser 10 ай бұрын

The center screw keeps the new chuck on tight. The cut thread dose not make any difference at all. It was cut along with the old chuck, so the threads are cut clean and the new chuck will screw on easily. Some drill also don't have a center screw, so lock tight can be used ti hold the new chuck on permanently

@@deandohertygreaser Many thanks for the quick reply, I appreciate you are very busy. I had the exact same issue when I cut the chuck off my drill, I caused the same damage as was on your video so I was very interested in what you had to say. I have used lock tight on the damaged thread and on the screw but wasnt sure if I trusted the drill or not: was worried that the chuck might come loose due to 25% of the thread being flat. Your words have been very reassuring. Once again, many thanks and keep up the excellent videos which are fascinating.
