chuck removal

[Coleman Breece]

There is a hex key inside the chuck but I'm not sure if its a left or right hand thread to remove it. Any tricks would be great.
Thanks

The chuck screw is a left-hand thread, so you'll remove it by turning it clockwise with your hex screwdriver.

Once you've got the chuck screw out, you'll want get a big allen wrench (as big as the chuck can fit) and tighten your chuck onto it. Get a hammer out and give it a couple whacks counter-clockwise to break it loose. Once it's loose, you can take it off by hand. Putting a chuck on is essentially the same process in reverse.
