Tom,
Yes, turn the jaws all the way into the body of the chuck and, while holding it in your hand, wack it a few times with a wooden 2 x 4. That should hold it. On the rare times when I needed more holding power I wiped both ends with laquer thinner and applied a drop of LOCTITE, then, wacked it in again. The chuck and holder will outlast your lifespan several times over so you should not have to worry about taking them apart again.
