Thread: Putting Bearing on Drill

I took it apart again and checked the shaft and found it was good and true. So I re-assembled and it ran smoothly. I must have bodged something first time!
Drill back together and it runs quieter and less wobbly now. Sadly still a little bit of runout which I think is from the chuck arbour. Good enough for now and I'm not sure how to remove the chuck as the morse taper is directly on the end of the spindle, meaning I have no way to press the chuck away from the spindle shaft. I don't think it was meant to be removed. It's only a cheap Axminster WD13S (about £90 I think).
Tempted by a Bosh PBD40. Any reviews on this?

Does anyone have tips on how to remove the chuck on my WD13S pillar drill from Axminster?
The spindle has a taper directly on the end and pressed into the chuck. There is no 'key way' to release it. Tapping a bearing release fork between the chuck and drill body only acts to pull the spindle out of its bearings.
Perhaps a bit of dis-assembly lubricant and heat on the chuck? Any other tips?

If you can lever off the bottom bearing you could try something like this.

If the bearing wasn't on the shaft a sharp strike to the back of the chuck should break it(the taper not the chuck)
Sorry about that missed the bit where you had tried the taper wedge tried to delete the message but couldn't
You could grip the shaft in the vice just behind the bearing (to prevent it moving) and try the wedge again.

Well the wedges method is the preferred way, did you use two either side or just one, here is a link to the correct type, not sure whats going on with the price but I'm sure you can find others or make some: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371117648999
Here is a great video by a friend I follow on YouTube, he's doing a service on a chuck, uses the wedges method correctly and takes you through the motions and more:
