   1)  I don't think any keyless chuck will hold a bit as tightly as the original keyed chuck on your drill

   2) The chuck should have normal threads on it.  Once you get the left hand screw out, lock the chuck in a vise and reverse the drill motor, and it should spin off.  They can be very tight sometimes.

   Look for one of the Milwaukee service centers- they can tell you how to remove it. Usually, the chuck is threaded on and the screw keeps it in place. If there's a service center near you, take it in and they may even fix it while you wait. Sometimes, they don't charge if it's a simple repair and if it wasn't abused, they'll comp it after the warranty is up

   If the shooter is corded, I would stick with a regular Jacobs keyed chuck. Too much torque and no brake on the hole shooters to tighten it by hand and the motor doesn't lock the way the cordless ones do, for tightening.

   Douche inside with snake oil take a large allen wrench 5/16 or larger and tighten in chuck tunk it with hammer if tunkin doesn't work whack it till it loosens then unscrew it from shaft. Jacobs chucks are the best, for your application keyed is the best bet Millwaukee chucks are made by Jacobs. Get your chuck from an industrial supply house not a big box store. Jacobs has a lot of good info on thier web site.

   Hi PGproject,

   I second the advise about the keyed chuck. Especiallly in the 1/2 inch size. keyless chucks just dont grip tight enough to stand up to the torque of a 1/2 inch holeshooter.

   If the tip about the vise doesn't work,  after removing the left hand thread keeper screw. Take a fairly good size allen wrench and tightoen the short end in the chuck tightly. then with the drill laying on a towel or something soft, sort of position the drill chuck and allen wrench off the edge of the bench. Take a mallet or hammer etc. and rap sharply on the allen wrench in the direction the chuck loosens in. The motor will spin alittle but the idea is the sharp fast rap on the wrench will loosen the chuck.

   Once you have removed the allen bolt inside. A Milwaukee drill should have a hex shaped area behind the chuck. You should hold that area with a wrench and put a hex wrench in the chuck and strike the hex wrench with a hammer while holding the other wrench behind the chuck. Using a wrench and hex wrench in combination prevents possible damage to the gear inside.

   Thanks- as I said, I don't have a wrench thin enough to fit between the chuck and the body.

   Buy a cheap set and grind down one to fit.

   Lee:Not to be difficult, but that would mean I'd have to buy a grinder- then, a place to mount it, which would mean a bench, which would mean a larger garage.... you get the idea, but thanks.BIll

   Webby gave you the answer,
   Chuck up a big allen wrench, after removing keeper screw, and rap with hammer.
   good luck
