Thanks for the video on freeing seized chuck, very helpful. Tried your method of heating screw on my Draper Storm Force but a lot of popping and banging and still didn't work. In the end I cut the end of the chuck off with a grinder just after the screw so I could get heat directly on it. Worked a treat. Trying to find a geared chuck as these Cheap Chines keyless are a pain - keep loosening.
Hi Max - Thanks for your informative video - For the removal of the screw, if I can add to the discussion: I found the best method was to use the small Makita rattle gun that you showed in the Video but I used a hex end Magnetic Extension Socket Bit Holder fitted to the driver and to fit the appropriate sized "Hardened" flat screw driver bit to it - Then insert the holder and flat blade into the chuck and hand tighten the chuck onto the round section of the bit holder - but not so tight as to prevent it from spinning - then set the driver to the "Right" as you mentioned - The main benefit is that you have the screw driver bit automatically centred on the screw, the ability to easily apply pressure onto the screw head and then the rattle gun effect to loosen the screw.
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.
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.
Does anyone in the world know how to take chuck off Makita 6095d. I wanted to take it apart ho clean corroded battery contacts.removed all screws from body flat head screw inside chuck ,but I think I shouldn't have taken the two screws from torque ring. A ball bearing has dropped out . Help
I tried a few times, but it didn't work. You can expect that further attempts can damage the mechanism. So if it's screwed on tightly, it's a stupid idea. You have to disassemble the mechanism and directly get to the shaft on which the drill chuck is mounted. So you have to take it to a service, or spend a little more time repairing it and disassemble carefully, because there are a lot of elements inside.
@@TraxxionIf it is impossible to unscrew, as in my case, there is no point in hitting it with great force, because you can damage the mechanism and the repair costs will be much higher - as in this case. I have seen a number of materials and each one hits with a hammer, but this is a recipe for destroying the gear inside. If the screwdriver is designed for a power of 40-130Nm (depending on the model), then using a 300-500Nm wrench or hitting it with a hammer is very likely to end in the destruction of the equipment...
Ended up using a cordless grinder and cutting disk to cut the chuck off the thread, using a copy of the RÖHM Extra RV80 with the spanner hex on the outer end as replacement, the Makita part number comes back as a Jacobs 500 series chuck with a no grip conical end, but 1/2 the price of a RÖHM.
@@Traxxion Na, simple repairs are more economic, and it's a relatively new brushless that the previous owner left in a damp garage, hence the need for a new chuck, £10 with battery and it supplements a much older 3 speed Makita 451 that's got a 3rd gear slip problem.
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 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
I'll try to disassemble the mechanism to get directly to the shaft the chuck is mounted on. Hitting it with a hammer is a recipe for destroying the gear train and increasing the repair costs.
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 TH-cam. 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.
Thanks for posting but my chuck would not budge even with screw out and using the tire impact driver. Gave up and will use drill for dirty jobs that don't require care. Chuck will hold bigger bits but not the very small ones.
I tried with a hammer several times and nothing. I tried with an impact driver, which generates about 200Nm of breakaway torque and nothing :(. And such attempts can damage the mechanism and end up with higher repair costs:/
I tried, PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, hitting it, using a torque wrench all to no avail, then finally tried Acetone mixed with Automotive Transmission fluid 50/50 and an impact wrench ( pounded on the torque wrench-it was an external nut ), let it set for 15 min and it worked like a charm.

That sounds like another good method. I hope people see your comment!
Can you come and do mine?! It’s stuck solid and I don’t have a rattle gun.
Thanks Chuck! I mean Max. 👍 Great advice
You bet!

Just completely knackered my drill.
Then it was dead anyways. See if Makita will help, they might give you a rebuilt unit.

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

At some point, you should just throw the thing out and buy a new one...

That's what prompted me to change mine. You couldn't hardly drill a hole in wood without the bits spinning.
gone through all this and it still won't budge haha. screw is out but the chuck refuses to be unscrewed
Not hot enough!

@@bengreen2329 Makita is stellar about warranty service... if it is less than 2 years old, they will rebuild it for free.
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.
Sounds like you have nothing to lose. Just get it hotter.
Cute@@Traxxion

I have found them to be very fair and reasonably priced. Sometimes things are covered by warranty even... for two years!
very good to know!!i have one and it wasnt being cooperative....i will admit defeat and send it away!
Do a video on painting walls please
No idea how to do that.
Thanks for posting but my chuck would not budge even with screw out and using the tire impact driver. Gave up and will use drill for dirty jobs that don't require care. Chuck will hold bigger bits but not the very small ones.
Did you heat it up?
it fucking worked but i used a bic lighter cause i don't have a torch but hey fire is fire..
I tried with a hammer several times and nothing. I tried with an impact driver, which generates about 200Nm of breakaway torque and nothing :(. And such attempts can damage the mechanism and end up with higher repair costs:/
Lots and lots of heat does the trick. If it's broken then it's no use anyway. At least you are attempting to fix it.
I tried, PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, hitting it, using a torque wrench all to no avail, then finally tried Acetone mixed with Automotive Transmission fluid 50/50 and an impact wrench ( pounded on the torque wrench-it was an external nut ), let it set for 15 min and it worked like a charm.
You didn't try heat... that's always the answer. Locitie won't yield without heat.
@@Traxxion Forgot to mention heat, midway in there, no luck either.
My problem is the chuck is seized with a bit in it.
Penetrating oil and heat
I know it's been repaired or replaced, however with a stuck bit use vise grip on the bit
Here, the guy shows what to do if you can't unscrew it with a hammer. But that requires skill th-cam.com/video/AutUZ-aD_eo/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
why not using a fucking allen bolt, why use this centuries-old bolt?? i dont understand engineers sometimes, they act like dumb people sometimes.
The problem is opening the chuck to un do the screw. That is what nobody shows.
There's probably a video on opening a seized chuck somewhere.
