Hi,
Im in the process of changing bearings on my old lathe. The ones that are presenting some difficulty are the ones on the top step-pulley, not the one on the motor, the other one.
What my problem is the assembly that holds the top step pulley. There are two blue cast iron brackets stuck to the spindle shaft which is steel.
Basically I need to get the two blue parts taken off. I've tried everything such as filing down the spindle shaft on one end, trying to hit the spindle with a drift pin to tap it out but it seems to be stuck fast and wont budge.
If anyone has any idea of how to fix this I'd be grateful for the help.
Cheers,
Donald
