This happens on my porter cable router. After I loosen the collet nut, I just tap the nut lightly with the wrench and it would free the bit. I don't use this router anymore but if I did, I'd buy a new collet.

Distraction could lead to dismemberment!
I’ve tried to do that a few times and it hasn’t worked, unfortunately.
My hair-dryer is pretty hot. It didn’t work though. Heat did nothing.
It may have been. It’s like it’s fused on there pretty well. Thanks!
The Whack-a-mole approach didn’t work.
Yeah, dryer won’t go that high anyways.
Yes, it’s a pull stud collet.

If it came out and broke, I actually wouldn’t mind. I can buy a new one. I don’t need it anyways.
Yeah, if I ever get it out, I’ll be sure to never push it in all the way again, believe me.
Nope, that wouldn’t work.
I think I’m going to try taking into a hardware store see if they can get it out.
It’s not open on the motor end.
No, and I’ve lost my patience with it several times. Today I was screaming in frustration.
Funny story Patty.
I think I’m just going to take it in to a hardware store or repair store of some kind.
Surprise! It’s me!!!
