I can see it...works on my end? If you still can't see it, it's on Youtube. Just keyword 'How to remove Rohm Supra.

New here.. Needed to replace my chuck on the DCD950 and this video is invaluable.  How much loctite do I use (on all threads, just at the bottom..), and should I get the red or blue loctite?

Also, if I dont have a mallet when hitting the allen wrench, would a hammer be just as fine?

A hammer would work fine, just don't put a lot of force behind it. Use the red loctite, and apply a lite coat on the first few  threads.

Quick question:

I have read the Rohm chuck should never be opened or closed by using the drill itself, rather only hand-tighten the chuck with the spindle locked.  Is this true?  I never had a problem with my DC927 chuck until I lent my drill to a friend and he used the drill motor to tighten the chuck onto a bit.  Afterwards the chuck would lose it's grip if I tried to free a stuck bit in reverse.  Never had that issue prior.  Now I have bought a 700 Jacobs chuck to replace the old Rohm, and I won't lend out my $300 drill again.

Thanks,

Jeff

I have never heard of using the motor to open or close the chuck being a problem.  I will not go so far as to say what is the proper way to use it, but I always (as in EVERY time) use the motor to tighten or loosen my chuck.

From the DC927 owners manual:

"Self-Tightening Chuck Operation (Fig. 5–7)
WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front
part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may result.
Always lock off trigger switch when changing acces sories.
WARNING: Always ensure the bit is secure before starting the tool. A loose bit may eject
from tool causing possible personal injury."

p.s. The new Jacobs 700 series chuck works fine.  When it fails I may try the Rohm again.

HA! Well I guess we all learned something today! That being said, I probably won't follow those instructions  Grin

Dewaltdude.. so I had applied loctite and installed the Rohm chuck on my DCD950 back when I asked a couple questions in this thread.  Fast forward to yesterday at work, I'm using it to try to take out a 4 inch phillips head screw that is in a concrete wall.  I put my drill on drill mode, highest clutch setting on gear 1.  

The screw didnt move, I stripped it a little bit and then after a quick second my chuck fell off! Sad  

What am I doing wrong here?  I just redid the installation last night and applied a very liberal amount of loctite this time.  Used a hammer and wacked the allen key real good.

What kind of loctite did you use? I used the LOCTITE THREADLOCKER RED 271.

I got this stuff at Discount auto parts..  Permatex Threadlocker Red.

Wonder if it's just crappy. I put it on the last few threads closest to the inside of the threaded spindle the first time I installed the chuck.

This time I put significantly more on the threads so I will see what happens.

Bottom line it should never come off no matter how torqued a screw is in right?

Correct, it should never come off. Make sure the loctite has a few hours to set before you touch it. I let mine rest inside the house where it was warm for 24hrs just to be safe.
