I am merely guessing but the bull wheel etc will be or should be held on the spindle with a long key. This is the bit that will take the brunt of the clout. The rest of the gears etc can be locked with wooden vee wedges forced between the gears and the headstock casting. ( This is how it goes on a Myford anyway) If you can put a long steel rod neatly onto the 3 backplate, you can clout it loose. OK, you can bugger the keyway mentioned and you might need a very long scaffolding pole but it should 'give'. I recall using a scaffolding pole to release what should have been on at 140 lbs.feet and literally jumping on it with all of 11 stone massively constructed masculinity( well!) but it did give. Brute force and applied ignorance! You know I was thinking of the screaming of tortured car body metal when pulled with a 'warwick' into alignment after a crash. Best of luck Norman |

Mick, I do have a 1" drive air operated impact driver you could use if you have a big enough air source - I run it off a road compressor. Big hex in chuck and suitable socket should eventually shift it. (Got it for various big bolts on farm machinery) I still think that a heavy reverse interupted cut would do it |

Might start with washing up bowl under chuck and pour a few kettles of boiling water over the back plate before starting (not forgetting to remove the bowl before running :ddb: ) |
