Interested to see if they can find the model under a different name and get it fixed. Right now it's in a big tupperware container after I took it apart.

There is no good way to secure the spindle short of tearing the drill completely apart. The trick is to put the drill in low gear and chuck up a large Allen wrench (like a 3/8" one,) long arm in the chuck, short arm sticking out and to the side. Place the short arm of the Allen wrench on a solid surface with the end elevated and smack it with a hammer, using the inertia of the geartrain/motor to hold the spindle long enough to loosen the chuck. Sometimes you have to get a bigger hammer. Regards Bob concerning your blurb on replacing a chuck, you omitted a couple of things,
