Getting Jacobs chuck off arbor

Have you opened it full open and checked for a screw ? - like hand drills... Maybe someone 'fixed it'.

Maybe there is a hole for a pin punch. Maybe you can drill a hole.

See if you can clamp down the tang in a vice. Then - using the vice as a pry point - pry against a short pipe that was slid over or a large washer ....

e.g. - try to protect the back of the chuck.

Maybe a bingo there - My wood lathe does screw on a chuck or a B.B. center.

Then - chuck a hex key or such - into the chuck - put it in the vice and grab on the tang to turn...

Martin,

I got it off several days ago. I posted about that, but added to the message title, so it doesn't show up in this message thread.

I got it with the same basic method I had been using. I drilled the hole through the center a little bigger so I could use a bigger punch and a bigger hammer.
