SOUTH BEND REBUILD MANUAL

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.

Good luck however you do it. Let us know what happens.
