again, I managed to immobile the gears by installing them wrong. Confirmed again that there's no screw holding this thing on, just a small divot in the end of the shaft. I put a huge wrench on the end of the alan key to try and turn it, pushed pulled and gave it some mallet whacks. No movement beyond the little bit of slack in the gears getting taken up.

As I said this thing is probably from 78-82 because it has a logo nothing like any of the other millers falls logos I've seen, on a sticker (not molded in) and with plastic handles. So I assume it's from a few years before Ingersoll Rand shut them down. The only other mention of a similar problem I found was someone on practicalmachinist with a Sioux drill, but that was the last post the guy made with no resolution.

I want to fix this thing. Pic is what it looked like before I started taking it apart, it had a lot of problems. And I can't just put it back together as is because it's super dirty underneath the gear attached to the chuck spindle and has to be thoroughly cleaned with some light corrosion removed.
