On my lathe I have an EC collet chuck - a nice piece of kit if you can find one. However, my guess is it is around 50+ years old and the grease/ oil is getting a bit gummy. To remove the torsion springs in a controlled manner I devised a spring compressor especially for this application.
This video shows the final design, including removing and replacing some of the springs (and drawings for those keen).
