BobA:

Could be black or silver and made of flat metal stock.


pmc:

Mine came with two wrenches. You use both at the same time (one on each of those hex thingies) and in two directions. Gives you awesome leverage to ensure a bit is in there really good or to free it.

You can use two adjustable wrenches too. You don't need the cheapie ones that came with the router.

That Ryobi locks the spindle with the button / lever that is on top of the motor housing.

Once it's locked, either get the wrench that came with it, or any 9/16" wrench you have laying around.  With the bit up, insert the wrench into the open window on the side of the router, put the wrench on the black hex nut just below the bit, and turn counterclockwise to loosen the chuck.  Then just pull the bit out.
