The gearbox that the motor has attached you want to keep, and if you're low on money, you can use the batteries too.

The opposite thread bolt, the circular metal plate and the screws

thanks which way do i turn the screw in the main drill bit to undo it?

[typhoon_driver]

the screw inside the chuck is a reverse threaded screw, ie you turn it clockwise to loosen it off. Then the chuck will rotate off in the regular way. Keep a hold of the screw.

Left loose, right tight. For a reverse thread it is the opposite of that. On the drill the only reverse thread screw on it will be the one in this link, 3rd picture down on the left.

Hope that helps with the rest of it too.

good guide but i'd recommend using m5 grub screws in the ball bearing holes to secure the drill gearbox rather than the o ring method as the o ring will likely degrade over time.

grub screws work, but I use the spring pushing the ball bearings onto the plate.

[typhoon_driver]

problem with that method is that if the screws holding the plate on come off then you've lost your locking mechanism. The other issue doing that is that you can't use the easy to use drill motor mounts.

what i have is the spring tightly pressed against the plastic and the motor mounts like jamie uses to hold the motor still.
