Kevil,
First of all removing a chuck, do it carefully, there 3 or 4
screws on the back of the chuck. What I did on my little lathe was put a 5
inch chuck on it, I used the back plate that HF sells and mounted the
chuck. Things got much easier to do and I do recommend doing this enhancement.
Here is the URL on how to do it and where to get stuff from:

Hi everyone,
I was cleaning the red grease off of my Homier Lathe today. I tried
to remove the 3-jaw chuck, but could not keep the chuck from turning
to unscrew the 3 screws. What I did is open up the chuck and wrap a
rag around a screw drive and put it in the jaws to keep it from
turning. well this worked for me, but i'm sure this is not the right
way to do it, I don't want to get into the habit of doing it this
way, if there is a chance of breaking the jaws. So my question is
What is the proper way to remove a chuck from the lathe?
Thanks for you help.
Kelvin
