First, thanks to all that replied.

>From the horse's mouth (DeWALT), stick the allen wrench into the chuck.  Tap
it in a clockwise direction to loosen the Torx screw.  Next remove the screw
(left-hand threads), then stick the allen wrench back into the chuck and
give it a good hit in the counter-clockwise direction.

I guess this helps avoid stripping the Torx screw.

Again thanks,
Justin
