Drill chuck removal

I want to replace the chuck on my slot morticer. It is a 10 mm Rohm keyed
chuck. I have driven off chucks in the past using metal wedges without
problem but this one won't shift. I presume it is not on a taper. Can anyone
help? Thanks.

Open the chuck and look inside it may have a screw in the center that can be
removed. If no screw then the chuck is threaded and screws onto to shaft. It
should be a left handed thread so it won't screw off in use.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately there is no center screw, and I
can't turn in on the shaft even using extreme violence. I'm afraid of doing
permanent damage to the bearing housing/pulley assembly. I was thinking of
heating the chuck up with a gas torch to see if it frees up. All I want to
do is replace the chuck with one of a larger capacity...
