I accidently step on the pedal when I was taking off the jaws from the spindle head. I locked the T handle L ratchet inside the spindle head now I want to take it off. How do you take it off I heard is not possible. Is this true?
thank you

I talked to the CNC machinist of how to get it out. It was very simple and easy. The way he explained to me was: it is easy as "taking away a popsicle from a kid".
Process:
1. Try to take the JAW out of the spindle head first
2. E-stop machine so the hydraulics are not on and the machine does not move the torque inside the spindle head
3. Grab a plastic hammer and hit the chuck wrench or the T handle L ratchet from the spindle head
3a. this is where you hit and you have to be careful because you can break the wrench and if you break the wrech inside the spindle head will be damage and "NO BUENO"
3b. start gentle hitting towards clock wise
3c, if your hit does not work start hitting a little harder then repeat about 6 times hit
3d. repeat until is out
4. Make sure your process sequence is moderated and careful
5. then turn on the machine e-stop
try to use the wrech to take out other jaws
that is all I learned today for this
