I have my new to me leblond nearly ready to rock and role.
the chuck was stuck on so tight i thought it would never come off.
tried everything (except power and wood, the motors away being rewound)
i had come to the conclusion that i was going to have to machine it off.
somone suggested to me slitting it, i had already thought of this so with a second suggestion of it i gave it a try.
I made some wedges and hardened them.
these were hammered into the slot i cut with a hacksaw , the slot went as deep as i could take it.
Then a little extra with a pry bar cracked the back plate enough to finally remove the back plate. Yay.

m having some issues getting the images uploaded will try again latter
