Hacking drill - Problem with reverse thread

[Ellis]

I'm confused. Are you trying to get the screw out or the chuck off? If the former, it should involve a crosshead screwdriver and some heaving to the right to get it out. To the left is actually tightening with reverse threads.

If you've dealt with that and the screw is out, and it's the chuck you mean you can't get off, then an allen key in the chuck itself and a light tap on the end of the allen usually does it. The chuck is threaded normally, though, so to loosen you need to turn it/jolt it to the left, as normal.

Oh I had it backwards being it was backwards. Still cant get it undone though. This screw is being a real pain.
