Stuck Drill Chuck Arbor

[Sandia]

Hey guys, need some advice here. I purchased a 1/2"Albrecht drill chuck with a 5/8" arbor on Ebay, and I want to replace the arbor with and R8. How is the best way to get the old arbor out without ruining the chuck?

FYI - First, make sure that the arbor isn't integral to the chuck!

Thanks for the feed back. The article on Albrecht chucks is very informative as well. I bought the chuck with the understanding it was not an integral arbor chuck, as it turns out the arbor is stamped "Rigid". I feel there is a chance the excessiver runout I have may be in the arbor, hopefully.
