Welcome. The CVAs are a joy to use. To remove the sight glasses you need a tool with 3 pins to insert into the sight glasses holes. The tool allows you to rotate and carefully extract them. They are just a push fit, not screwed. Alternatively (very carefully) use a pin spanner. See here for info:

Thread: Identifying a chuck

Morning,

I have what I thought was a D1-3 chuck with intergral backplate, but the stud threads and holes are the wrong size. Does anyone have any ideas. Pictures below.

I am assuming from the pulley I could estimate the drive belt width and depth and then run string between the two pulleys to give me the correct length. Does that sound right? I am also aware that the belt will have stretched over time. My current belt:
