Yep. In using the wrong tool he pulled the chuck and spindle out of the drill body, probably damaging the bearings. Oh well...

The proper removal wedges are not a universal solution. With some machines, there is little or no lip on the shaft adjacent the fat end of the taper onto which the proper wedge can bear. You see this on smaller Morse taper arbors with larger Jacobs tapers on them.
I have seen a soution to this which involves cross-drilling the tang on the arbor and using a pin through the hole against which a piece of tube can bear, the other end of the tube being a seating for the wedge.
At some point, it can be a better strategy to dismantle (destroy) the chuck in order to save the shaft.

How about buying a new chuck and arbor ?

There is no arbor, as I understand it. The JT6 male taper is on the end of the shaft: it reduces the manufacturing cost. It makes it a pain when you want to change the chuck, hence this thread.
