There are a couple of different approaches to removing the carriage; one way is to unbolt the front and separate the vertical part from the top horizontal part that rides on the bed, however since this lathe has the powered crossfeed it may be easier to remove the entire unit along with both the leadscrew and the drive shaft still attached. This would require the disconnecting of the leadscrew and driveshaft at the gearbox and unbolting the carrier at the tailend of the lathe. Then it should slide off the end of the lathe bed (if the gear rack allows).
Regarding the chuck, if it is a bolt on type you might be able to chuck up a piece of shaft, perhaps 3/4 or 1 inch diameter, and use a rubber mallet and grab the shaft and wiggle while asisting with a few taps from the mallet. Be sure and remember to place a piece of board beneath the chuck to cover and protect the ways so when the chuck pops off it does not damage the bed.
Sorry, but I cannot tell enough from the pictures to provide more details and I hope you can understand what I'm trying to describe.
Good Luck!
