I just looked for that comment on your video and didn't see it. The only thing close was about whacking it with a hammer, which I certainly do not recommend. Have you looked at the link I gave? From everything I've read, most of it from "old timers", the way I did it is among the safest ways to release a stuck chuck since you're not hammering anything, applying heat, etc... It's your lathe. Just trying to help.
For sure not going to use a hammer. One of my favorite old sayings is "don't force it - get a bigger hammer!" Not the correct application here for sure. She'll break loose more extended periods of pressure and penetrant with some heat on the backing plate and she'll come loose.
