Tom,
To remove a holder or collet from the spindle, loosen the drawbar back a few turns but do not remove it. Then tap the hex end of the drawbar with a BRASS hammer which will knock the holder in a downward motion. Then hold the end mill holder with one hand and turn the drawbar out with the other hand. Do not wack the holder with side blows in order to remove it. Only use downward blows.
