You need to remove the flex shaft from the top of the spindle, and use a square drive the size of the flex shaft cable to hold the spindle, then put some blue loctite on the chuck threads and screw it on. A thin 7/8" wrench is need to tighten the chuck while preventing the spindle from turning.
Good Luck

I used the wrench that came with my router. If that helps?
