Ok, looks like they were just filling the hole. They were cylindrical nuts with a slot. They didn't shoulder onto anything so I assume they were just pressed in place. Too much rust to even see if they had a knurl on them...very strange. I drilled from the nut side and then the impact did its job and 5 of the 6 came free. Of course there is one in every crowd which just wanted to spin the nut. I made a driver out of an old socket which failed instantly...so I sacrificed a cold chisel and gripped it with vice grips...and 2 hours (and a lot of cursing) later it came apart. Now I need to devise some type of puller to split the chuck open.
Anyway, thanks very much for the suggestions and sympathies. I came to the right place. I do appreciate it.
