    Wolf Drill chuck removal

    Cheers for the replies everyone - very helpful and enlightening. It sounds like it is likely to be a jacobs taper rather than a screw. My plan is to try and confirm this by looking for details on the chuck as suggested by Housey210, then soak it with penetrating release oil as Bingyman...

    Wolf Drill chuck removal

    I think you're onto something here! I googled 'chuck arbor' as you suggested, and they do have a little hole in the top, which is what I can see when I look inside the chuck on my drill.

    Wolf Drill chuck removal

    Yeah, I've tried it, hoping it would do exactly that. It didn't allow to be remove the chuck, but maybe just because it is so firmly secured. I'll probably remove the screw (again) before trying some of the methods suggested above.

The very bottom of the chuck interior has a kind of circular recess that almost looks like a pin of some kind. It might just be the way the chuck is constucted, of...

    Wolf Drill chuck removal

    Thanks for the replies, everyone! Cheers, Bingy man - I'll try that. When you say "soak", does it literally need to be submersed in oil, or is regularly giving it a spray sufficient?

    Wolf Drill chuck removal

    Hello there, I recently acquired an old Wolf 'Heavy Duty' drill. It works fine, but could do with a bit of general TLC and cleaning. However, I cannot work out how to remove the chuck. I tried the method of putting an allen key in it and hitting it with a hammer to loosen it, but that only...
