Do not attempt to spin the chuck off while the brushes are still in. This will damage the brushes. Removing the brushes is the easy part. On each side of the router there is a black plastic screw cap. Turn these out and make a note of the brushes and the orientation for re-install - this is important. Once this is done, the string is used to spin the chuck off as per the instruction that I passed on to you that was given by Ray Girling.
Those instructions are complete and I used them to do 2 routers (MOF001 and TRA001).

Les you are a champion!
It took a total 15 minutes to install new chuck body and collet. And now my larger router bits don't slip at ALL!
This dramatically improved my confidence in this router hopefully for years to come,

Well back on 10th June I tried to get the spares through the local Triton dealer, it was a waste of time, it's not the dealer's fault but the Australian distributer who didn't stock the chuck body and after a lot of back and forth between the two, told the dealer to order it direct from O/S. Then the dealer couldn't order direct from the manufacture. (11 weeks wasted).
I decided to get them from Toolspares Online, placed the order 15th August with the cheapest shipping and they arrived today, 12 days!!!. Will install them next Monday when I go to the Mens Shed again.Arie.

Thank you
I know this an old post but I just came across it after buying a Triton router on EBay which had no collets. I bought collets for it but they would not fit. I ordered the chuck body and used the instructions, It worked perfectly, continuing to spin it sel off the router. Thank you so much, and thank you Ray.
