I am trying to remove a very stuck 12 inch 3 jaw chuck so I can put a 4 jaw on and I can't budge it. I have done the easy stuff with cheaters and even put a big bolt in it and tried the 1 inch impact with no luck. I think the last time the thing was off was probably before 1971 so its been a while. Its a very old but very tight lathe and I am not real excited about putting heat close to the bearing but I am running out of ideas? The inspection date was 97 so I figure its probably bronze or some sort of babbit and since it is pretty accurate I don't really want to go down that road if I can avoid it.
Thanks for any ideas.
