Hi all,
Upon reading this post, I thought I'd chime in with my two-cents worth. I have a 14X36 Rockford that came with a 7 inch 3-jaw chuck, I don't have any idea how long it was on there, maybe original. I tried several times to remove it by tapping on a jaw, or whatever other method I could think of. I finally chucked up a piece of 3/4" hex, put it in back gear, placed a 15" adjustable wrench with a 4' piece of pipe on that, put reasonnable pressure on that, and with a 1/2" air impact, started rattling on the hex with a 6 point socket. It actually took about 4 or 5 minutes for all the rattling to shake it loose, but it was successful.
