i have a dewalt dc720 how do i remove the chuck?

Remove the chuck screw (t-20 inside the chuck). Note that it is reverse thread. Then set the drill to setting 2 and drill speed (to best lock the chuck). Then lock a large (1/2") Allen wrench in the chuck. Hold the drill tightly on a flat surface, and whack the Allen wrench counter clockwise. It should break loose and you can then spin it off by hand.
