4 jaw chuck

Check the other side of the chuck for fasteners or threaded holes designed to push the backing plate out. They might be under the jaws. If none, it should be easy enough to make a puller. Use a disc bigger than the chuck that will bolt on with the 3 big center bolts. Tap the ouside of the disc for 3 bolts that can pust against the chuck to pull out the backing plate. If you play your cards right, you can use the same disc for your new backing plate.
 
Will this chuck work?

Is this your machine?
 
Yes it is.
I tried to order it but it is not available.

The lathe is out of production.

I just found out what the back plate on a chuck was.
I was thinking the the stuff on the end of the shaft was the back plate.

I think I can buy a 4 jaw chuck and make my own back plate.

Thanks for all of the replies.
