Correct. The spindle seems ok at this point, and separate from the
chuck. Not having access to some rather basic tools in the right place
for this sort of work is making thinks take some time.


Y'know... tapers being tapers, a few light whacks from the SIDE might
just loosen that up enough to come out. If I were doing it, I wouldn't
bang on it hard for fear of damaging the socket in the chuck, but I would
give it a number of smart taps from all directions (and quite close to
the chuck body) -- THEN try to extract it.

Having another hammer opposite the strike/against the back of the
spindle will help counteract the hammer hit (saving the bearings) and
make it more effective.

Truth!!!


Ummm... You HAVE made sure there's not a retaining screw INSIDE the chuck
holding that sucker in... yes? It's not common in taper-mounted chucks,
but I've seen it.

Good question. That's thinking "inside the chuck". groan
