Chris,
On my Makita you would have to unscrew the screw at the bottom
of the chuck (NOTE: this is a left hand thread) and then do the
thing of chucking up an allen wrench and giving it a sharp wack.
The thread on the spindle is a right hand thread. I'm not sure
if the screw in the bottom of the chuck in mine is a TORX or not
but I removed it with an allen wrench.
