Then you have two choices. Either the chuck is gummed up somehow. This is solved maybe with a long soak in a solvent. WD-40 is a solvent - not a lubricant.
Second, the chuck is somehow bent. Therefore you must disassemble it and maybe file off the distorted surfaces.
Yes I am just as persistent. But only because I wanted to learn. There is nothing cheap in fixing the chuck. We don't fix things to save money. We fix things to learn.
BTW, if you do figure out how to get inside that chuck, then post back. I never had such luck. Only after I got a new chuck, did I learn the old chuck did not really hold that well.
