If it is the standard four jaw chuck that comes with a Myford, you
have to punch out the fork pieces that hold the screws in place. If
you look at the back of the chuck you will see four round recesses -
these are the backs of the forks. The forks are quite a tight fit in
the chuck body and there isn't much room to get a punch past the
screws, but it can be done.
You can get replacement screws from Bernerds, can't remember how
much they cost me when I did this some time ago. Since then I have
discovered "Rotogrip" - a company that specialises in chucks and spares
for chucks. I have found them very helpful.
I hope the above helps.
Cheers,
Roger Mason, in St. Agnes.
