wingless Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Welcome to the forum. Sorry, but I don't know what "I've lost the jaws to my chuck" means. The chuck is part of the nose cone assembly, unscrewed by the four corner bolts and the impact connector unplugged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpenter by trade Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Gilbert, the Chuck is the part that turns and tightens against the drill bit used for drilling holes. If you need to replace just that part tgen you need to loosen the screw inside. Open the jaws, there should have been three, then look down inside the opening between the jaws. You should see a screw head. It many use a Torx, Phillips, or star drive bit to loosen. Most turn clockwise to loosen as opposed to counterclockwise like a normal screw. Hold the chuck firmly which may even require a Channel lock type wrench. Before removing the screw completely, tap it while still holding the chuck, to help loosen it from it's shaft. Slide the new chuck on the shaft, insert and turn the screw counter clickwise to tighten it. Hope this helps you out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
