I recently had teh chuck and shaft pull out of my DC759. I have only used it a few times. Apparently the unit was assembled without a bearing clip that costs 91 cents. I need the procedure for installing one.
The chuck replacement process is relatively simple. We have a full walkthrough on our site (including a video) that applies to most keyless chucks. You'll want to check the "Threaded-on" section of our article here:
You'll need to start by removing the chuck screw, which is left-handed (meaning you'll have to turn it clockwise to loosen it), then put the biggest allen wrench you can fit into chuck. Tighten the chuck around the allen wrench, and secure the drill (preferably in a vise) before hitting that allen wrench counter-clockwise with a hammer a few times to get it loose. After that, you should be able to get the chuck off by hand.
The whole thing should hopefully take no more than a few minutes.
Our article will have any details I may have missed, and the video has been pretty helpful to a lot of people, so I'd still recommend referring to it before starting this project.

Love the tool. I have a number of cordless drills and this is the one I turn to. I did have a Sears with the handle more to the back of the body that I liked better and I had it for a number of years but at a Christmas in April activity, someone from my church decided they needed it more than I did.
This drill and the hammer drill and I suppose all of them are good drills but they need to redesign the trigger switch. on at least 3 of our company drills have problems with the switch.
Hello, I bought a Dewalt drill DC 759 from a yard sale and every time that I pull the trigger it smokes very bad. Can you please tell me what you think it is. Thanks.

My dewalt Dc 759 cordless 18 volt drill is starting to smoking a whole lot now.
I took it apart and cleaned up and put it back together and squeeze the trigger for a little while and again smoke started to come out. It seems that it's over heating or something.
can so one tell me whats wrong?...

I just purchsed a USED Dewalt DC989 18V Drill as a backup to my everyday one. The used drill I purchased has a burnt electrical smell and a higher than normal amount of sparking at the brush area. The first time I operated it I actually had sparks exiting the case. The drill seems to operate properly : power, speed, except for the sparks and smell. Now that I have cycled it through the operations a little, the smell does not appear to be as bad, and the sparking is much less. However the sparks are continuous. My other drill gives off minor sparking when then the trigger is activated or released but not continuously. I am guessing this used drill needs a set of brushes but I am not positive. Can anyone with some knowledge help?...
