I have a few DW953 drills and would like to do some repairs on one of them.. my problem is that the inner small screw in bottom of chuck in shot and I can not get a allen wrench to fit inside.. any idea of how to solve this problem without destroying the chuck or the drill for that matter. thanks this is my first post
got the screw off by using a endmill then all I had to do is remove rest of screw after chuck was off

I haven't heard of anyone using that method before. I'm glad it worked out!

I tried drilling first but that inner screw is hard, all I did was burn up good drill bit, cheap 5/16 endmill bit in a drill press took head of screw off real easy,
Hey doyle,
As far as I know the fiber gears are not available in steel..the gearbox has to be replaced as a whole unit..part # 380264-06 avail at ereplacementparts.com..
the gears are functional as a engineering torque transferring mechanism designed to have a less load operating capability on the dc battery power source..oh...and it costs less..:)
hope this has been helpful..?
