I agree. I would also mark each jaw (if it doesn't already have a
number or set of punch marks) and the corresponding slot that it is in
to make sure that they can be reassembled the same way. Assemble it
back the same way that you dissembled it.

Well, in English, "disassembled" - to dissemble is to ramble, pontificate,
etc.

But I nitpick.

However, it's true, I do know this - for a three-jaw chuck, the three jaws
have to be 120 degrees "out of phase," as it were.

Now, _that's_ dissembling. ;-D
