The correct way to replace a chuck on a cordless drill.

This is the correct way to replace a chuck on a cordless drill. Dismantle the drill and gearbox to access the spindle, lock the spindle in place so you can lever the old chuck of.
This is the safest and correct way to do it. But it is also the slowest and most risky for a beginner.
It is very easy to get lost rebuilding the gearbox or lose parts.
It also means you need a special tool to lock the spindle, and each brand uses a different spindle. So a different locking tool for each.
The hammer and Allen key is my go-to method, followed by cutting it off with a grinder.
But these options can not always be used, especially if you want to keep it the old chuck.
In which case, this is your only option with some modern tools.

That's quite common problem with DHP458. Too much moisture, too much plaster, cement and other kinds of dust and there you go. It's a wise thing to store those drills in fairly dry places, use a compressed air or air blower to clean the chucks and apply some dry lube+water repellent from time to time. Excellent video. Your professionalism is praiseworthy.

Cool video. I always, I have always wondered if the manufacturers make a spindle key of some sort for just this scenario. I have the Makita 486 and replaced the chuck for a Dewalt rohlm one from screw-fix. Had to use the "cut the chuck off method" from your's truly as is wouldn't undo for no one.

Awesome repair. Cant beat the old makita tools made in japan. My brother was in the ridgid platform, over there its AEG. He kept going through drills and recip saws all the time. Eventhough the have lifetime service, hes too lazy to bring them in and just kept buying new ones. Has like 4 or 5 of each of them. Still just kept buying them instead of sending the old ones in. Never a problem with the impacts or anything else, just drills and recip saws. I told him to switch to makita because they are far more reliable, and can fix them yourself. Little did i know, the newer ones are now made in china, like everything else these days. He got the xt288t kit, and the impact just stoped working in just under 2 years. Believe its the xdt16. Put the battery in, and nothing happens. No lights nothing. Is it more likely to be the controller or the switch? Whats the best way to figure it out? Check for continuity/resistance at the switch? Before his crapped out, i had bought the same kit. Now im worried mines going to fail. The clutch on my drill xph-14 has been kinda crap since day one. It works fine, but when you're tightening it to lock on to a bit, once its tight and you give it a little extra to make sure its locked in like i have done w every drill ever, you can feel it pop, then it gets loose and have to tighten it back up and stop just before that point. Never had any drill/chuck ever do that to me. Pretty disappointed with the quality of the newer makita tools since the started making them in china. Had i known that, i probably would have never recommended them to my brother, and switched platforms myself.

Nice tip on the custom socket. No thread locker, though? I suppose I'd use a medium (Blue) strength, since it'd be difficult to utilize heat in that space.

I suggest you get one of those wera chisel driver with the through shaft. The flat blade on those scredrivers fit really good on the screw.

Hello. What size is this impact socket?

@jasonvandervalk3679 4 ай бұрын

I like this method much better may take a little longer but it looks easier on the drill.

Simpler way to remove that counter screw. Use a 10 mm flat driver bit, it must be a round one. Snuggle the bit up lightly in the chuck so it does not wiggle all over the place, give it a bit of WD40, let it soak, give the bit a good tap with a hammer then use a regular impact driver to unscrew. It's a lot easier than using a regular screw driver especially with worn out screw heads because you can really lean into that impact driver to keep it from jumping out of the screw slot. If needed you can clamp the patient lightly in your vice. Works 99/100 times. A regular 10 mm flat bit might be a little bit too thick for the slot, I slimmed down the one I've been using for years on a daily base. Using a 10 mm bit instead of a smaller one is important. With the chuck snug around the 10 mm bit there is still room for the screw head to work it's way out. (all this from fairly rusty memory, I haven't repaired tools for years, bit size might be off). I'm sure about the good whack tho ;-)

Is that Makita blood on the bench?

@mm9773 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for that, I was wondering if there was a better method. I’ve got an excellent Röhm chuck lying around and I can’t get the factory chuck off my Makita drill. The Allen key method worked for me on a little Bosch drill once, but the Makita? Not a chance, it’s like that thing is welded in there. Might go looking for that special tool.

Have you considered using an impact screwdriver for removing the chucks? Wera has one that turns when you hit it with a hammer.

Please would you tell me, what are those 3 little sticks below transmission on sides for? It's like 5mm short, it has head like mushroom an also there is spring. I could not switch my dhp481 between drill/screw/hammer. I found out 2/3 were broken so I ended up not putting them back (left only one). Do not even know what they are for...? You can remove them from below chunk. Drill works only one.
