How to remove chuck - HF Micro Mill

[sportandmiah]

I've dis-assembled my new HF Micro Mill to clean every nut and bolt, but can't figure out how to remove the drill chuck, or how to loosen the draw bar. Can someone help?

Thanks.

OA torch, plasma cutter, sledgehammer, jackhammer..
Seriously, loosen the drawbar from the top by turning it to the left with a wrench. Back it out a few turns and smack it with a dead blow hammer hard.
It should come out. Welcome to the wonderful world of MT2 tooling....

Left????????????You DO mean right,don't you? ;D
By the way,you shouldn't need a huge walloper to loosen the drawbar.If you do,then you overtightened it.

.... and don't force it - get a bigger 'ammer.

I think the wolloper us used to drive the drawbar down forcing the MT2 free from the spindle.
