1. Don't do it late at night when you want to do something else
2. Don't do no. 1 after already fixing a different Jacobs chuck, as that will make you think you somehow know what you're doing
3. Don't use PVC pipe as a standoff to press the sleeve off as that is very very stupid and you will end up with a chuck inside a PVC pipe
4. Just stop there, further attempts will just end up in tears/ swearing/ both
5. If you ignore 4., for goodness sake don't keep cranking on the press handle when it won't come out all the way. It's probably come out cocked and if you keep pressing you'll just bugger it up.
6. If, after hours of work you managed to fix all the screw ups you've just caused, you manage to get it back together and working well DON'T GIVE IT ANOTHER LITTLE TWEEK ON THE PRESS as it will then no longer work and you'll have to take it apart again
It's now fixed and opens/ closes freely other than a couple of slightly tight spots. If I'd known then what I know now, I would have happily put up with it being a bit sticky..
