They're a bit of a pain to pull apart and you ideally need a press to do it. I'd personally just stand it up on end in a vice, drip some of the sewing machine oil down between the jaws and the chuck body, and a bit around the revolving sleeve on the outside and let it work its way in, run it open and closed a few times with the chuck key and you'll be good.
