Just a note, the first time I disassembled a Jacobs chuck I thought I'd broken the "nut". I took a chance and put it back together anyway and it worked fine.
By the time I'd done the second or third chuck of my life I had learned that the "nut" is "broken" at the factory, I don't think assembly could be done if the "nut" was one piece.
