Dismantling a Burnerd chuck

[JonBerkParticipant @jonberk]

I have an early Burnerd 3 inch lever scroll three jaw self centring chuck which I want to make a mount for so I can use it on my lathe. It is earlier than a Model 33 Lever Scroll Chuck for which I have a drawing. It is possibly a clock makers chuck.

To make the mount I would like to take the chuck apart so that I can transfer the positions of the mounting screw holes to the new mount.

I have had it apart in the past when I serviced it, but cannot remember how I did it. I don’t want to apply too much force, so can anybody assist in reminding me how to dismantle the chuck please.

Thanks

Jon
