How do I take the keyless chuck off of the Makita BDF452?
Question by Chester Copperpot26: How do I take the keyless chuck off of the Makita BDF452?
I have a Makita 18v lithium ion drill, the black and white one. Model # is BDF452. The head will not hold my bits very well, and it is hard to open and close the keyless chuck. I was going to replace the head, but I am having trouble taking it off. I opened it all the way and took the screw out of the middle, but it still does not want to come off. Somebody please help me!!

After removing the screw ….insert an allan wrench {short end} into the chuck and tighten chuck on wrench. Use a big enough wrench so it will not flex.
Put the drill in “low” (#1) and set the clutch to “drill” position.
Rest the drill on the floor or a bench, and with a dead blow or rubber mallet give it a few whacks……. I believe the threads are standard so you will be smacking it towards counterclockwise

The screw in the middle is left handed thread, The chuck itself is right handed .
