Hi Jason,
Thanks for that, I see on the mini-lathe.com "how to" he beats the spindle out with a soft mallet, I have access to a hydraulic press do you think that may be a better option?

Should be easy with a press be careful though with the thread on the end of the spindle
Please bear in mind I have never done this :dremel:
I just have a large folder of mini lathe links that I amassed when I was doing my home work before buying one.
I ended up buying a c4 instead as it was on special offer :doh:

Hi David
Thats a bitch your gears have broken, looks like the lads have pretty well got you sorted, the only thing I can add is that Loctite can be broken with heat, about 150 deg C usually does it.
Good luck

I have the part No's if you have a local bearing supplier, might be cheaper that way.

I would be interested in those part #s Darren.
