I remembered Folks using a short heated length of 1/2" steel rod to
help remove the QC Chuck so I did a quick Forum Search ("Steel Rod")
and found several that might help with your problem.

Loctite® Threadlocker Red 271™ is designed for the permanent locking and sealing of threaded fasteners. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces. It protects threads from rust and corrosion and prevents loosening from shock and vibration. It is only removable once cured by heating up parts to 500°F (260°C).

Red loctite may have been used on your “Z” truck with a QC. I received a replacement Z truck from LHR; it was HELL to remove the QC when I purchased Ron’s Rock Chuck. I think Red Loctite was user on that Z truck.

I removed the Z truck from the machine, placed a ½ inch rod in an adapter and heater the rod with a torch to a point, almost red hot before I could remove the QC

I have heard that Acetone can be used, I quite using the Threadlocker stuff on my machine. I found it was not needed.

Hope this helps. BJB

Loctite® Threadlocker Blue 242® is designed for the locking and sealing of threaded fasteners which require normal disassembly with standard hand tools. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces. It protects threads from rust and corrosion and prevents loosening from shock and vibration. Loctite® Threadlocker Blue 242® is particularly suited for applications on less active substrates such as stainless steel and plated surfaces, where disassembly is required for servicing.

removing the truck and placing it in a vice helps alot.

See my post on the spindle puller. It is easier than you think.

Once the spindle is out, the QC is at your mercy!

not sure if im brave enough to take the spindle out. I dont have tools like that anyway.

I got it off.....wooooo hooooo....heres what I did..
I put a soldering iron inside from the bottom for about 5 minutes while I ran a hair dryer on the out side..
Than I fired up the torch after I turned the other stuff off and spun the chuck while I heated it until the plastic sleave
looked like it was ready to melt..I put in a allen wrench that I modified to fit with a small pipe to give me a little leverage with a wrench on the bottom and pop it broke loose pushing away from the key pad direction...
