Have you tried electrolytic derusting? I have had great luck with this. My 1871 Mauser got the full treatment, and I was even able to salvage the extremely delicate magazine tube this way. Rusted together parts often come right off after a round of electricity and a mildly basic electrolyte bath.
I'll have to find some orange crinkle paint for it now, or just just go JD green or IH red.
The threads in the chuck are just coarse V threads. Once you get it free you can undo the nut on the back of the bolt/shaft part, remove it then just unscrew the chuck.
Try a little heat.
