A gunsmith friend of mine brought me one of the basis Westcott 3 jaw
chucks..threaded back, that needs to come apart for cleaning.

There are 3 cap screws in the back, three in the front, and a single
near the single wrench hole.

I pulled all the screws..and still the damned thing wont come
apart..it appears that something to do with the wrench gear is holding
the thing together. The back is loose and will move but the wrench
gear is the pivot point of the movement. Everything appears to come
out the backside of the chuck body.

Anyone ever popped one apart? They are common enough..shrug
