conquest layshaft removal
stirling lad:
can anyone tell me how to remove the layshaft from the head casing on a conquest ? ive removed the circlips at either end but its still stuck fast and im afraid of damaging the small bearings if i force it..I'm trying to change to taper bearings on the spindle and metal hi/lo gears at the same time :doh:
but i'm stuck at getting the old busted plastic gears out first..any advice would be greatly appreciated...:bang:

i just knocked mine out with a pin punch from the "chuck" end.
i reused the bearings as it took very little effort to remove them

Hi Mike.
I've never removed a Mini lathe shaft. But the mill is "the same"......
I removed the circlip, and just tapped it through/ out with a piece of brass bar, from the opposite end. Same as Jim!

stirling lad:
great!!! :clap: that worked a treat, gents thanks again...
and some gentle coaxing with a hammer and wooden wedge removed the larger bearing that was still on the chuck end of the main spindle..
now to rebuild!! I just hope its as easy as they make it look on U-tube..I think i might be being a bit optomistic there... :zap:
