it very economical to repair the drill. replace the transmission.

hi open the chuck all the way and then look down in the centre of the chuck you should see a cross head screw unscrew and the chuck should pull out as this is on a taper system ( note the screw is left hand thread )

it is most likely stripped out and will need to be replaced

I simply placed the chuck into a large vise and turned the drill counter clockwise and the chuck spun right off no problem without damaging anything!! It does have some thread lock on the chuck but just use your man strength and its as simple as turning the lid off the pickle jar! Do not waste your time or money with the removal tool...YOU DONT NEED IT!

Open the chuck jaws and you will see a screw in the center of chuck, it is left hand thread. remove it and use a large bent handle allen wrench putting the short portion in the jaws and tightening. Shift the drill to the low position and have the clutch in the drill only position. place the handle of the wrench at about a 30 degree angle to strike it counterclockwise. put the chuck on a block of wood or workbench and hit it, this might take a couple times but it will come off.

If it is a keyless chuck, try resting the chuck on a wooden work bench, and with a dead-blow hammer aka: shot hammer, slant-strike the chuck in the unscrew direction.

The speed switch on top may be in between speeds. Try it in a different speed. If not the top switch, the the trigger may be bad. Does reverse work?
