Removing Stuck Chuck From a Milwaukee M18 Drill

[bobby2unes]

Can anyone offer advice on how to remove a chuck from a Milwaukee M18 drill/driver? The screw won't budge that holds the chuck (clockwise turn). I suspect there's Loctite holding it in place. Tried WD40 with no luck. Is heat from a small torch a good idea? I don't want to melt any plastic parts or ruin the motor. Or, a tap with a hammer? Thanks all.

Use an impact driver.
It's a heavey duty screw driver type tool that twists while you smack the end with a hammer.

Stick a hot soldering iron on the screw to be removed. Apply heat for a minute then try it. Trial and error.....heat is to break the Loctite bond before causing screw to expand.

Thanks, guys. I will try your suggestion first, Sarge.

If its this one, good luck. Maybe tap the chuck towards the motor to release a tiny bit of preasure off the screw.

Some have left handed threads.

I was able to get the stuck bit out of mine by carefully (if it's possible) tapping the bit with a hammer. Then I was able to pull it free with vise grips.
