Can't remove chuck from drill

Block Image

I have the ryobi p214 cordless drill and no matter what I cant remove the chuck. I took the screw out from inside the jaws and I put an allen wrench in and held it with the jaws. I managed to turn the chuck counter clockwise but it just barely spins without loosening at all. How can I get the chuck off?

@archiep once you got the allen wrench locked, you placed your drill in REVERSE (lowest torques setting)and you do have a full battery? Now pull the trigger. Careful, It'll kick a bit and you got to hang on to it and watch your wrist.

I did this, but the drill started smoking and it also kept auto braking unfortunately.

I have the same problem? I cant tighten the chuck enough to stop the drill bit just spinning in the chuck , so , I want to fit a new one but cant remove the old one? Cant see any screw / bolt up inside the chuck at all? Hopeless system?

Had the same problem so dismantled the drill down to the point where I had just the shaft with 2 flats on the end, clamped it in the vice , 10mm hex key in the chuck and heated the hell out of the old chuck, it let go with a bang and the thread is not a 1/2" 20 thread as mentioned, still to indentify, be careful during disassembly as a lot of small gears and parts, photograph each stage.

Also good to note that the screw is a reverse thread

Thank you for the useful content, however, the article link is doing something different than what I'm trying to do. I don't have a bit stuck in the chuck, I'm trying to remove the chuck from the body of the drill. I used the schematic you shared to illustrate my situation.

OK, well, in the very unlikely event that @oldturkey03 's advice didn't do it for you, (he's a pretty darn sharp tack) I did find an answer to that too...somewhere but should have read your question more carefully.
