Skil pwrcore 20v broken clutch

[brads]

I broke the clutch on my Skil pwrcore 20V cordless drill and I can't get apart. Also, I don't seem to be able to find a new clutch for it and don't know if it would be cheaper/better to just buy a new drill. ( $50 ) To get to the clutch, I must remove the chuck AND the case. Can't remove case without first removing the chuck. I got the screw out of the chuck but with the broken clutch, the chuck spins/won't lock down so I can't unscrew the chuck from the shaft. I assume the gears are broken. I've already put a lot of penetrating oil on it. No help. I'm totally stuck on how to get it off. I'm hoping someone here might have an idea on how to proceed. Thank you in advance.

Skil cordless tools are kind of junk.

Watch for a sale and pick up a Ryobi, DeWalt or Milwaukee.

Try chucking a fairly good size Allen key in the chuck and then smack it real fast with a hammer and see if you might knock the chuck free. Other than that you are probably out of luck.

Yeah, I've been trying to do that, but no good. Thanks

Update: I was finally able to get the Chuck and clutch out. Clutch is definitely messed up. Took it apart so I could try to get the Chuck off the shaft. Locked shaft in a vice, put large allen wrench in Chuck and tapped with hammer. No good. It is seized absolutely tight. Whatever thread lock they used at the factory works way, way too well. Decided not worth the effort and ordered a new drill.
Note: the directions say to turn the clutch past 17 to the lock position when you're boring holes. Apparently they think you won't need the clutch for boring holes. Wrong. I was boring through a metal plate laid over wood, the bit locked up momentarily in the metal and that was the end of my drill. Lesson learned. Never, ever totally disable the clutch.
