How to change STUCK Keyless Chuck on Makita Drills by Max McAllister

[@mervynshute880]

started to understand. then he had to master it, and by doing so made it hard work for the viewer to follow.

[@deanbr6ndo70]

Just completely knackered my drill.

[@Traxxion]

Then it was dead anyways. See if Makita will help, they might give you a rebuilt unit.

Hey Max, the difference between your videos and most others is that you video in real time and publish your experience. Other channels stage their videos and spend more time in the edit than in the videoing.

[@Traxxion]

That's the truth... you don't know how it might go. When I introduce a new product at my company, I film the very first product part installation without editing, so that I show any problems or oddities a normal person might run into.

[@bengreen2329]

gone through all this and it still won't budge haha. screw is out but the chuck refuses to be unscrewed

[@Traxxion]

Not hot enough!

[@bengreen2329]

@@Traxxion got it off with the air impact and a 3/8 drive 10mm Allen. Thought it would fix the chuck wobble, but it didn't haha. Ah well, guess I need a new drill because the runout is driving me mental

@@bengreen2329 Makita is stellar about warranty service... if it is less than 2 years old, they will rebuild it for free.

How do you know when you need to change the keyless chuck? Is it just when it stops gripping sufficiently? I haven't noticed any issues with mine but I don't do heavy mechanical work with it so far.

[@Traxxion]

That's what prompted me to change mine. You couldn't hardly drill a hole in wood without the bits spinning.

Your video is quite good. However, I have a Makita DHP481 cordless drill, I tried everything you mentioned here and also from other videos available on KZbin. Unfortunately for me, Makita has glued the chuck to the spindle so the only way to remove it was by heating it with a torch. By the time you heat it to the point of breaking the bond, your whole machine is not recoverable anymore. There is a lot of plastic in the gearbox. So if you have one DHP481 which is the heavy-duty one, you must take it to Makita Authorised Service or probably better buy a new one.

[@Traxxion]

I have found them to be very fair and reasonably priced. Sometimes things are covered by warranty even... for two years!

[@blullc3002]

Do a video on painting walls please

[@Traxxion]

No idea how to do that.

[@bradspaugh9827]

I got the screw out but nothing is taking the chuck off. Tried hammer, tried impact, tried torch but didnt get carried away with heat.

[@Traxxion]

Sounds like you have nothing to lose. Just get it hotter.

[@user-dh2wn5ux5q]

My problem is the chuck is seized with a bit in it.

[@Traxxion]

Penetrating oil and heat

[@jefffuller3139]

I know it's been repaired or replaced, however with a stuck bit use vise grip on the bit
