The brushes have started to smell (burn) and I’m going to replace the motor. It’s a SIP 36” swivel head lathe, I know these are generic lathes with various names . SIP £159 anyone know how to replace as cheaply as possible (not working presently) Things are going well so far and I’m sure when...

I used a cheap three point puller and attached to the cast iron behind the pulley, The pulley was shattered and could be broken by finger pressure . So I had few options. I used the silverline gear puller 150mm. Part of a cheap set of three. I sprayed with GT85 for left for 24hrs. Then it was...

Thanks everyone. I’m aware it’s generic build and cheesy pulleys . Just stuck and would rather not destroy it whilst removing the pulley. A bearing pulley seems sensible.

Thanks everyone. First one problem then another, the second pulley appears jammed any ideas the pulley itself is collapsing with every pull I’m not confident in using force , would heating help?

No the back pulley is cracked . I’ve a replacement set. Managed the first pulley now trying to see why I can’t move the second pulley. Wet and dry 1500 worked a trick . Many thanks. John
