Keyless chuck stuck in open position?

Makita 6222D 9.6V
Chuck is stuck in the wide open position,trying to turn both parts with those rubber strap lid remover tools does not release it. It had been getting sorta sticky when adding/removing bits and then it locked up.

Like some part is acting as a key lock.

Spray WD-40 on it and the chuck will loosen right up.

if your drill is reversible look inside your chuck and check that the screw that holds the chuck has not come lose, sometimes it will losen and it prevents the chuck from closing, rem this screw is lefthand threads, simply tighten the screw.

I had the same problem before. I propped it upright and filled the opened end with liquid wrench and let it sit for a day. After that I took pliers to hold the chuck and it eventualy broke lose. After that I lubed it every so often. Hope this helps you
