Stuck Morse Taper - new to this!

[JonnyB]

Oh wow, just opened this on a computer; the text is huge! I copied from text app on my phone (as my phone kept refreshing and losing my text) - anyway...

Here are some photos. I loosened the lock nut with a c-spanner but don't think that actually has anything to do with changing the taper attachment, so have tried hammering with the nut loose and also tightened.






I might need to buy a mallet for that (I assume steel for impact, not rubber).
Not sure how to drift it out. Doesn't seem to be any points to drift from.
