The chuck threads directly onto the end of the armature. It can sometimes become very tight with use of the router. You will most likely have to remove the armature to get a good enough grip on it to remove the chuck.
Hey old hippy,
Is it the brush's you need to replace..? if you remove the top cover[4 screws], you can gain access to the brush's for replacement..if it is the bearings you need to replace..that is probably one for the repair center to do..there is a certain degree of difficulty for those..
hope this helps..
your fellow old hippie...:)
