WHAT DO I DO NOW??... Screwdriver Bit Broke Inside Impact Drill!

What happens here

Now that the broken bit is removed, reassemble the chuck mechanism. First, carefully place the small ball bearing into its designated hole in the collet. Then, slide the spring over the collet, ensuring it sits correctly. Next, place the small metal flat washer on top of the spring. Finally, reattach the C-clip (retaining ring) by compressing the spring and carefully maneuvering the clip into its groove. The narrator emphasizes this step can be tricky and takes time, estimating about 5 minutes just for the C-clip.

Goal: Put the chuck components back together in the correct order.
