BAM, I built a small rig to help me change my chucks. It is a swinging piece of pipe from the overhead with a Tee shaped end. Each end of the Tee has a rotating bushing or sleeve on it. It lines up with lathe head and I stick one end into the chuck and tighten the chuck down on the sleeve, which allows me to unscrew the chuck. The other side of the Tee has the other chuck attached which I 180 and thread onto the machine. After I loosen this chuck I just swing everything out of the way. I never have to pick up and manhandle the chucks anymore.
