Ok, y'all know how you tighten the r8 collet/em in.
Here's what happened:

Upon tightening sed r8/tool, the thread of the r8 popped out, the r8 collet
body/em fell out, and the drawbar and the r8 thread/nut are now just
spinning in the machine, with nothing to lock it so the drawbar/threaded pc
can be removed!!
So the hex draw bar/r8 nut just spins freely!

Well, lean that head over to horizontal so you can get a peek at it.

Can you reach in and drill a couple holes in the insert? Likely cheese steel.

Okay, now make a pin spanner to hold that insert.

Remove.

HTH,
