There's a screw inside the chuck. Open the the chuck all the way and you will see a screw head. I think the threading is reversed - remove the screw. Grab a large Allen wrench and tighten the short end into the chuck. Then you want to tap the allen wrench really hard with a hammer. The chuck is normal threading (not reverse), so you want the spin the chuck clockwise if you are pointing the drill away from you (like a pistol). The chuck should come off and you will be able to replace it with a new chuck. Lowe's and Home Depot both sell a keyless chuck replacement.

Remember that if you're in a hurry and there's ever an issue you can always grab 'em directly from the posts -- it's the same difference.
